Tonight, the Doddridge County Board of Education welcomed Sheriff Boring and the Doddridge County Sheriff’s department to their meeting and School Resource Officer Kirby Miller. This year marks the 15th year for Prevention Resource Officers in the school system. The board held a small reception to recognize the partnership in student safety and mentorship provided by the officers.
Chad Evans, president of the Board of Education stated “Doddridge County Schools is honored to present this award to Sheriff Boring, his dedicated deputies, and School Resource Officer, Kirby Miller, in recognition of their unwavering commitment to the safety and well-being of our students and community. Through their tireless collaboration with our schools, they have created a secure and thriving environment for our children. Their dedication to safeguarding our students is truly invaluable, and we are deeply grateful for the vital role they play in ensuring the future of Doddridge County. This essential work is made possible by the continued support of our taxpayers and the school levy. Your contributions are not only crucial to maintaining the safety of our students but also to the ongoing success of this vital partnership. We are proud to acknowledge and celebrate the exceptional efforts of Sheriff Boring, his deputies, and SRO Miller, and we deeply appreciate your role in helping us protect and nurture the future of our community.”
Superintendent Scott Cochran also thanked the officers, “School safety is a primary responsibility of public schools. We want to recognize Sheriff Boring, his deputies and Mr. Miller not only for keeping our students safe, but for being exemplary role models in our schools.”
