Former Delray Beach police chief heading to the classroom

Former Police Chief Larry Schroeder is changing jobs. But to many, the 30-year veteran of the department will always be 'the chief.'

'We are going to call him chief,' said Atlantic High School Principal Kathleen Weigel - his new boss. 'He's not leaving the city, he's just relocating his office.'

Schroeder, 51, will begin teaching at the high school's Criminal Justice Academy later this month. He retired Monday.

'I never gave it a thought I would be teaching,' Schroeder said. 'But the school agreed to hire another teacher and they were hoping for a retired police officer. I called and asked if they would consider me.'
