WESD board renews intergovernmental agreement with City of Phoenix for nine school resource officers
Summary
The Washington Elementary School District approved a one-year intergovernmental agreement with the City of Phoenix to provide nine school resource officers for the 2025–26 school year; the board also requested an update on the district's February 2023 SRO research study.
The Washington Elementary School District Governing Board voted to accept the intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with the City of Phoenix to provide school resource officers (SROs) for the 2025–26 school year. District staff told the board the agreement covers the third year of the district's SRO arrangement; staff reported the district currently has nine school resource officers.
A motion to accept the IGA was moved and seconded and carried on a voice vote. A single "nay" was recorded on the audio during the roll call sequence; the transcript does not include a roll-call tally of named votes. After the IGA vote, a board member asked for an update and presentation on the Washington Elementary School District SRO research study from February 2023; that request was seconded and recorded as a future agenda item.
Board members did not elaborate on changes to the IGA during the public discussion recorded in the transcript. District staff said the agreement must be renewed each year. The transcript shows the board handled the IGA as a discrete action item and added the SRO-study update to a future agenda for more substantive review.
No statistics about program costs, contract duration, or operational details beyond the count of nine SROs were provided in the meeting transcript.
