Summary
Wilson County commissioners moved to approve an interlocal agreement to place two school resource officers with Stockdale and Poth independent school districts and discussed pursuing grant funding; the sheriff agreed not to hire the officers until outstanding conditions were addressed, according to court comments.
Wilson County commissioners moved to approve an interlocal agreement to provide school resource officers to Stockdale Independent School District and Poth Independent School District, with discussion during the meeting about seeking grant funding to cover costs.
The vote motion was recorded as “Motion made by Commissioner King, second by Commissioner Aiken.” Commissioner King moved the agreement and said, “I'd make a motion to approve the interlocal agreement for school resource officer with Stockdale ISD and Poth ISD.”
County discussion focused on pursuing outside grant funding once the agreement is approved. Commissioner King said staff and the sheriff had talked about “asking the schools to, once this gets approved, asking the schools to put in for a grant.” A county staff member notified the court that they had “spoken with the sheriff that he agreed that he would not hire the 2 school resource officers until both” (statement in transcript ended there).
