City official says Hilldale SRO program will remain unchanged pending council approval
Summary
A city official told the Muskogee City Council that an agreement with Muskogee Public Schools and Superintendent Puckett keeps the school resource officer program at Hilldale unchanged for the next school year; the agreement will come to the council for final approval at its June meeting.
A city official announced that an agreement reached with Muskogee Public Schools will keep the school resource officer (SRO) program at Hilldale unchanged for the next school year, and that the council will consider final approval at its June meeting.
The speaker said the parties ‘‘reached an agreement that things will stay status quo for the next school year’’ and that there would be no change to the SRO program at Hilldale nor to the community resource officers working in Muskogee Public Schools. The speaker characterized the item as a safety issue for children and said it also affects officers.
The announcement referenced Superintendent Puckett at Hilldale but did not include a direct statement from the superintendent in the meeting transcript. The speaker said the agreement was reached ‘‘just last week’’ and that it would come before the council for final approval at the June meeting; the transcript does not record a formal motion or vote on the SRO matter during the special call.
Because the council did not take formal action at the special call, any change to the SRO program remains subject to the future council vote. The record does not specify financial terms, operational details, or whether the agreement requires additional city or school-board approvals.
