Popular school resource officer returns to the Lackawanna City School District

Tuesday was a big day for the Lackawanna City School District.

For the first time this school year, popular school resource officer Keith Kwiatkowski was back in Lackawanna school buildings, and back with students.

Ongoing contract negotiations between the City of Lackawanna and Lackawanna City School District delayed Officer Kwiatkowski’s return for the start of the 2024 school year.

A city spokesperson told me that on Monday the Lackawanna City Council approved a new three-year contract for SRO services prompting Officer Kwiatkowski’s return.

“It’s great to have him back,” said Lackawanna parent Lynn Bader, who reached out to 7 News in September voicing her concerns over Officer Kwiatkowski’s absence.
