Open Agenda
Approve the SRO Agreements with various municipalities for police officers to serve as School Resource Officers in the attached specified schools for the 2005/2006 school year.
The agreements provide for police officers to serve as School Resource Officers in Forty Six (46) elementary, fifteen (15) middle, ten (10) high schools and eight (8) others operated by the Board, and located in the various municipal police jurisdictions. The School Resource Officer Program is one of the most effective, proactive, safety and security programs in our schools. This cooperative school based partnership, now in its twentieth year, concentrates on preventative programs such as anti-drug and alcohol programs, conflict mediation and anti-violence, crime initiatives and Stranger Danger. In addition, these officers provide a positive presence and role model for students of all ages, as well as liaison between school and law enforcement.
These Agreements have been approved as to form by the School Board Attorney.
The financial impact of the SRO Program is $888,000.00. The source of funds is the school and center Budgets for the 2005/2006 school year. The remainder of the contracts will be submitted at a later date.
