Board approves security-personnel contract to cover schools and nighttime events
Summary
Trustees approved extending the district's contract for private security officers and included nighttime-event coverage in the agreement after staff said officers had successfully supported graduations and large athletic events.
The Middleton School District Board approved a contract extension with the district's private security provider to continue on-site officers at campuses and to include coverage for nighttime events, staff said.
District administrators introduced security personnel at the meeting and attendees described their school assignments. Staff said the contract increase was modest and tied primarily to higher insurance costs for the provider; administrators added nighttime-event coverage to the contract after noting the company had staffed graduations and large football games previously under separate event agreements.
Administrators said private security officers coordinate with school resource officers and local police; the district described the arrangement as beneficial to school operations and noted principals had praised the officers' contributions. The board approved the contract for the 2025–26 school year by voice vote.
