Deputy Trevor Sherwood, a Batavia High School graduate who was a star athlete in baseball and basketball, was approved by the Pavilion Board of Education on Monday night as the school district's new resource officer.
The board voted unanimously to approve a new memorandum of understanding with the Genesee County Sheriff's Office.
Superintendent Mary Kate Hoffman told the board that a committee interviewed four deputies for the position and recommended Sherwood.
Sherwood joined the Sheriff's Office on road patrol in early 2021.
The SRO position became vacant after Deputy Jeremy McClellan was reassigned to road patrol at the end of the 2022-23 academic year at the apparent request of the school district, which was a move several parents protested.
The Batavian will have a more complete story on Tuesday.
