CHANNAHON — After a moment of silence for the passing of Grundy County Sheriff Terry Marketti and for the victims of the Newtown, Conn., shootings, the Channahon Village Board got an update on area school security from Police Chief Jeff Wold.

“For every school event, we have scheduled officers,” Wold said. “We do have a crisis plan in place, and we revisited it.”

Wold said first thing Monday morning he attended a meeting with the superintendent and principals of Channahon Dist. 17 schools. They reviewed security policy and began implementation of one or two additions. There will also be an increased police presence at the schools this week and in the near future.
