GLENS FALLS, N.Y. (NEWS10) — Glens Falls City School District announced on its Facebook Page Tuesday that Officer Peter Casertino would join the district as a School Resource Officer. He will work alongside Glens Falls Police Department’s SRO John Norton “to provide additional support for safety and community-building,” the district stated.
