The Everman City Council on July 22 approved an interlocal memorandum of understanding with the Everman Independent School District to provide school resource officers under a renewed agreement. The approved MOU reduces the number of officers assigned under the agreement from eight to seven. Staff said the school district has funding pressures and will replace one police officer assigned at the high school with a Level 3 armed security guard; the presenter told council the district and superintendent prefer this approach to preserve safety while reducing costs.
