Gogebic-Ontonagon Schools Will See New Presence This Year

The Gogebic-Ontonagon Intermediate School District will now have a law enforcement presence in the form of a school resource officer program. TheDailyGlobe reports Sheriff Ross Solberg made the announcement at the last Gogebic County Board of Commissioners meeting. Deputy Adam Graser has been assigned to the new post and will float between the Watersmeet K-12 School, the Wakefield-Marenisco K-12 School and Bessemer’s A.D. Johnston Junior and Senior High School and the Washington Elementary School during a 40 hour work week. Graser will be re-assigned during summer vacations. 50% of the funding for the new officer will come from a state grant and the other half will come from an amendment to the county budget.
