Papillion La Vista board approves cost-sharing agreement for new school resource officer supervisor
Summary
The Papillion La Vista Community Schools Board of Education voted unanimously March 10 to enter a memorandum of understanding with the City of Papillion to fund a split School Resource Officer (SRO) supervisor position, following a staff recommendation and remarks from district and city representatives.
The Papillion La Vista Community Schools Board of Education voted unanimously March 10 to approve a cost‑sharing memorandum of understanding with the City of Papillion to fund a split School Resource Officer supervisor position.
Superintendent Dr. Rickley told the board the district and the city had discussed the proposal at the prior meeting and that the district’s recommendation was "to adopt the proposal and enter into a memorandum of understanding with the police department." The agreement was presented to the board with support from Chief Whitted, who attended the meeting.
Board member Lotus moved to approve the split SRO supervisor position; Wood seconded. A roll call recorded six yes votes — Lotus, Wood, Bailey, Butler, Madler and Witt — and the motion carried.
Board discussion, as reflected in the meeting, focused on the benefits of a shared supervisor and the city’s support; no amendment or alternate funding plan was proposed during the vote. The board’s action formalizes the district’s next step toward implementing the shared supervisory position with Papillion Police.
The district did not provide the MOU’s start date, the exact cost split percentages, or the supervisor’s job description during the meeting; those details were described as part of the MOU and will be executed as written in the agreement.
