Glendale council approves Nicolet High School SRO shared‑services agreement after 5‑1 vote
Summary
The Common Council approved a shared‑services agreement to fund a school resource officer at Nicolet High School for the 2025–26 school year, with one alderman voting no and questions from council members about staffing and cost allocation.
The Common Council of the City of Glendale voted to approve a shared‑services agreement to provide a school resource officer (SRO) at Nicolet High School for the 2025–26 school year, passing the measure by a recorded 5–1 margin.
The agreement — described by staff as essentially unchanged from prior years — formalizes the city’s continued assignment of an SRO to Nicolet High School under the signed contract the council authorized the mayor to execute. City Administrator Carl Warwick presented the agreement and said the school and the Glendale Police Department "would like to get it moved forward."
Council members asked for clarification about the officer identified for the assignment. Warwick said the same officer is scheduled again for next year but that she has “potentially” indicated she may move on from the role. Warwick said when the school is not in session the officer returns to uniform patrol duties during the summer.
Alderman Bogovich stated on the record that he would "never vote for it," and the council vote was recorded as 5 in favor and 1 opposed; the transcript identifies Bogovich as the dissenting vote. The council then directed Captain Lynch to bring the signed agreement for the mayor’s signature.
Why it matters: SRO agreements affect school safety practices and municipal budgets and are often the subject of public interest and debate. The council’s action keeps the existing SRO arrangement in place for the upcoming school year.
Discussion and direction: Council discussion focused on continuity of the assigned officer and the financial split with the school district. Warwick reported the memo shows the school pays a percentage of the officer’s cost; he stated — when asked about the allocation — that Nicolet pays 66 percent. No further changes to the agreement were proposed or adopted at the meeting.
Formal action: The council moved and seconded the approval; the motion carried. The mayor signed the agreement following the vote.
