The Sullivan City Council approved an ordinance amending part of an ordinance concerning minors and parental responsibility regulations during Monday night’s meeting. Sullivan Police Chief Andy Pistorius explained that the ordinance is for the school resource officer and the police officers to help enforce underage drinking, truancy and other things. This will have the offenses kept within the city and will not go on criminal records and put a fine to offenses.
He stated there are students who are missing 15-30 days which are way too much for them to graduate. Mayor Richard Glazebrook feels students will have to suffer consequences for missing school. “It’s difficult for them to do their job in keeping these kids in school,” he said. Glazebrook said they are mirroring what Charleston has done, and they have had good outcomes from implementing a similar plan.     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
