No Need for School Officer, Darien Teens Say No Need for School Officer, Darien Teens Say No Need for School Officer, Darien Teens Say
No Need for School Officer, Darien Teens Say Students Courtney Wynne and Sophie Watters aren't convinced that having a uniformed, armed police officer in the halls is a real necessity, even though the Board of Education last week approved having a Student Resource Officer in Darien High School. "I feel like it's a redundancy in the system," said Wynne. "If people have issues, they go see the guidance counselor. We have safety monitors in the school. It's not like they're leaving us to hang. We already have plenty of resources." Many students were confused about why a police officer would be necessary. School officials have said in t…

Darien Looks To Fix Train Parking Woes Darien Looks To Fix Train Parking Woes Darien Looks To Fix Train Parking Woes
Darien Looks To Fix Train Parking Woes Darien took steps, but no final action, Monday to alleviate the long waiting list for parking permits at the town's two train stations. Town Administrator Karl Kilduff presented a plan to the Board of Selectmen to convert 38 voucher parking spaces to annual permit spaces. "The real issue here is one of capacity," Kilduff said.
