A metro Atlanta school board has cleared the way for students to send text messages to police officers. The Marietta School Board will allow students at Marietta High School to send text messages to a school resource officer about trouble on campus. The school board says the plan will enhance the school's safety program because students sometimes hear about incidents or rumored trouble faster than school staff. Marietta High currently has two police officers and a K-9 unit assigned to it.
