A county official presented a resolution asking the committee to authorize the chairman of the board to execute an agreement that updates the cost structure for deputy sheriffs serving as school resource officers in multiple Saratoga County school districts.

The presenter said the agreement covers a five-school-year cost schedule and listed the school districts named in the draft agreement, including Ballston Spa, Burnt Hills, Ballston Lake, Corinth, Galway, Mechanicville, Saratoga Springs, Stillwater, St. Mary's, Waterford and Halfmoon. The presenter said the per-deputy cost to the school districts will be $85,217.40 for the 2025–26 school year.

Committee members moved and seconded the resolution during the meeting; the transcript records that a motion and second were made but does not include a numeric roll-call tally. If authorized, the agreement would permit the chairman to execute the updated contracts with the listed districts and implement the stated per-deputy charge schedule.

Why it matters: the agreement defines how local school districts will fund deputy sheriff positions assigned as school resource officers (SROs), establishing the cost countywide over the next five years. The transcript excerpt does not include details on scope-of-work provisions, liability, or how per-deputy costs were calculated.
