Pvige S
Deputies to patrol at Chemawa
(AI) - The federal Hurcau
of Indian Affairs might have
found its answer for security at
the Chemawa Indian School -the
Marion County Sheriff's
Office.
Through a recent agreement,
the sheriffs office would pro
vide security under a 5261,000
contract that would expire in
August 2006. There is an option
to renew the deal for another
four years, the Salem Statesman
Journal newspaper reported.
The money would pay the
salaries of three new sheriff's
deputies and finance gang pre
vention and substance abuse
programs. It would also pay for
anger management and conflict
resolution classes at the school.
County officials said there is
a renewed focus on safety at the
school because of the Decem
ber 2003 death of a Warm
Springs girl who died of acute
alcohol poisoning while she was
locked in a holding cell.
The school currently has no
securiry on campus, county of
ficials said.
The Bureau of Indian Affairs
handled security at Chemawa
for many years, but stopped in
January when it was learned
they had no authority to do so.
In February, the bureau tried
to improve security by erecting
an 8-foot, razor-wire fence
around the school. Protests
from students and school board
members led to its removal.
The boarding school, which
has roughly 425 students, is con
sidered a government jurisdic
tion that only the Federal Bu
reau of Investigation and the
US. Marshals Service have the
authority to police.
Under the contract, sheriff's
deputies would receive commis
sions from the U.S. Marshals
Service.
