This 2-hour program is time very well-spent -- don’t miss this powerful panel presentation designed to keep our children safe. Panelists include the Regional Director of Student Assistance from Caron Treatment Centers, members of the Middleboro Police Department, and Middleboro’s trained School Resource Officer.  The program will be hosted and moderated by Rep.
