Sgt. Earl Roach was packing up his office at East Hall High School last week. With notebooks scattered on the floor and his prize possessions — an Atlanta Falcons football helmet and a University of Georgia wooden football encased in glass — ready to be boxed up, Roach prepared for the move to his new office at 711 Green St., Hall County Schools’ district office. Roach’s new position as the supervisor/coordinator for safety and emergency preparedness for the school system has started, but his physical move won’t happen until his replacement is hired at East Hall, where he has served as school resource officer for 14 years.
