Court approves attachment clarifying duties for school-resource officers with Hardin-Jefferson ISD; vote split 3-1
Summary
The court approved Attachment 1 to the memorandum of understanding between the Precinct 4 constable's office and Hardin-Jefferson ISD to clarify school-resource officer duties; the motion passed 3-1 after county legal review.
The Hardin County Commissioners Court approved Attachment 1 to a memorandum of understanding between the Constable's Office, Precinct 4, and Hardin-Jefferson Independent School District to further clarify school-resource officer duties and responsibilities. Constable Corey Jeffcoat appeared for the item; court records show the attachment reflects recommendations by the school district's attorneys. County legal counsel (referred to as Mr. Minnick/Menick in the transcript) told the court the language had been reviewed and was legally in order. Commissioner Young moved to approve the attachment and Judge McDaniel seconded; the court recorded the motion as passing 3'to—1. The transcript does not include the full text of the attachment or the specific changes recommended by the school's attorneys. County officials characterized the action as an effort to align the MOU with new mandates and the school district's legal recommendations. No further conditions or amendments were recorded in the meeting minutes.
