Local reporter Debbie Wygent includes in her summary of Monday night's Octorara school board board meeting the announcement that Octorara and Signal 88, a Parkesburg based security firm headed by former school board member and East Fallowfield police chief Pete Mango, had signed a one year agreement.
The agreement calls for Mango's firm to provide traffic and road crossing services previously provided by the Parkesburg and West Fallowfield police departments.
The money quote from Debbie's article:
The board also approved a contract with Signal 88 Security for traffic security along Highland Road during peak bus times in the morning and afternoon each Monday through Friday. Signal 88 will be paid $34.88 per hour, at a cost not to exceed $20,000 during the school year. The company is a venture of Peter Mango, a retired police officer and former school board member. Superintendent Tom Newcome said the contracted rate is lower than those of local police departments and was one of his cost-saving recommendations to the board.
