• Agreed that the sheriff’s department bill the Vicksburg Warren School District for deputies assigned to football games. State law allows the school district to reimburse the sheriff’s department for the costs of working school-sanctioned events. Meetings were set for today between school and sheriff’s officials on the topic.
