City residents and council members all voiced their worries Monday about a new school resource officer agreement between Columbia Public Schools and the city of Columbia.
The City Council unanimously passed the agreement at its Monday night meeting. First Ward Councilman Clyde Ruffin and Fifth Ward Councilman Matt Pitzer were absent.
