SCHOOL RESOURCE DEPUTIES 2021 WAS A CHALLENGING YEAR for the school resource deputies, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The schools in San Luis Obispo County went to distance learning and only the school staff were at the school sites. Deputies assisted the school staff with contacting students and their parents to get the students connected with the online distance educational process from January 2021 to June 2021. Due to students being out of school and the loss of in-person instruction, most of the schools in the County of San Luis Obispo had summer school for all students. The school resource deputies help the school staff and students with the summer school process.
