Barrow County Superintendent Dallas LeDuff told school board members Tuesday that the tax increase would be necessary because county government has informed the school district that it will no longer pay for sheriff’s deputies, local news outlets reported.The school district and Barrow County Commission have been splitting the price of deputies assigned as school resource officers since 2017.

That would place at least two officers in the district’s high schools and at least one officer in every other school, although officials haven’t yet been able to hire 24 deputies.
