In November, Collegedale Academy became the first private school in the Chattanooga area to hire a School Resource Officer (SRO), Officer Cordario Eatmon. Officer Eatmon’s hiring is coordinated between the city of Collegedale and CA. For the ten months out of the year school is in session, Eatmon's salary is paid by CA, while for the two summer months, he works full time for the Collegedale Police Department, thus his position at CA is not funded by taxpayers.
