Walker County commissioners on Monday approved interlocal agreements with New Way Independent School District to provide school resource officers at four campuses, and they approved the transfer of two surplus 2012 Chevrolet Tahoes to the district.

The court voted to approve interlocal agreements numbered 1 through 4 after staff confirmed signatures and requested an update on how the program is functioning. A law-enforcement representative said officers meet monthly with school principals and counselors to coordinate services and that elementary through district-level staff had expressed appreciation for the presence of officers on campuses.

Separately, the court approved transferring two older Tahoes (FAS numbers 10422 and 10427) to the school district to support campus transportation and maintenance duties. County staff explained the vehicles are older units that the department has used as hand-me-downs and that the district contributes an annual replacement payment as part of the arrangement.

The motions passed by voice/hand votes; commissioners did not read a roll-call tally. County staff said the transfers will help the district with campus logistics and maintenance while avoiding immediate salvage of usable vehicles.
