School Board approves SRO policy with 5-3 vote amid mixed responses

The Stoughton Area School District Board meeting on June 2, 2025, focused on several key decisions, including a significant vote on a motion that ultimately passed with a 5 to 3 majority. The board members conducted a roll call vote, with Miss Garcia, Mr. Masa Myers, Mr. Buban, Miss Sorg, and President Patterson voting in favor, while Doctor Mylan Bartlett, Mr. Moser, and Miss Croyle opposed the motion.

Following this vote, the board moved on to discuss the School Resource Officer (SRO) policy. A motion was made to approve the policy as presented, and a second was provided, indicating that further discussion was anticipated. However, the details of the discussion were not captured in the transcript.

The approval of the SRO policy is a notable development, as it reflects the board's stance on school safety and the role of law enforcement within educational settings. The outcome of this meeting may have implications for how safety measures are implemented in Stoughton schools moving forward. Further details on the policy and its impact are expected to be shared in future meetings.
