Erlanger City Council approves interlocal agreement for SRO at Saint Henry grade school
Summary
At a special meeting Aug. 26, the Erlanger City Council adopted a municipal order authorizing the mayor to execute an interlocal agreement with the City of Ellesmere and Saint Henry Catholic School to provide a school resource officer at the Saint Henry grade school; the agreement is budgeted and similar to an existing arrangement with Dixie.
The Erlanger City Council on Aug. 26 adopted a municipal order authorizing the mayor to execute an interlocal agreement with the City of Ellesmere and Saint Henry Catholic School to provide a school resource officer (SRO) at the Saint Henry grade school.
City staff said the agreement is a budgeted, interlocal arrangement that must be approved by council and then filed with the state Department for Local Government. Staff said the agreement mirrors a similar interlocal arrangement the city holds with Dixie.
A councilmember asked a clarifying question whether the agreement covered the Saint Henry grade school rather than the high school; staff confirmed the SRO placement in question was for the grade school. Another speaker noted that the Saint Henry high school has an SRO provided by the Boone County sheriff’s office and identified Amy Chapman in that role.
Council adopted the municipal order by voice vote; the meeting record shows the mayor asked for “aye” and declared the motion carried. The motion text recorded in the meeting was to adopt the municipal order as read; no named mover or second and no roll-call vote were recorded in the transcript.
Why this matters: Interlocal agreements determine which jurisdiction provides and pays for school safety services. The action will formalize the city’s role in providing an SRO at the grade-school campus as a budgeted expense.
Supporting details: Staff described the action as a “housekeeping” item necessary because the agreement is interlocal. The transcript indicates the municipal order was budgeted; the text of the interlocal agreement itself and any cost-sharing details were not read into the record at the special meeting.
