Unarmed security guards will continue to roam the hallways of schools in Englewood Cliffs next year, according to a published report.
The Englewood Cliffs school board approved a resolution retaining two guards for the 2013-2014 school year at a rate of $108 an hour, according to a report on northjersey.com.
"The general consensus is that they are very happy to have them here," Superintendent Robert Kravitz said of the public, according to the report. "They assist with our policies. No one is allowed to enter the building without the guards' escort."
