Solicitor: full‑time school resource officer agreement under review with Northern Berks Police Commission
Summary
The district solicitor said a memorandum of understanding with the Northern Berks Police Commission for periodic SRO coverage was successful in 2024–25 and that a proposed full‑time school resource officer agreement has been circulated; the agreement remains subject to solicitor review and executive‑session discussion.
At the June 24 Committee of the Whole meeting, the district solicitor updated the board on work toward a full‑time school resource officer (SRO) agreement with the Northern Berks Police Commission.
The solicitor told the board the district previously entered a memorandum of understanding for periodic SRO coverage at the end of the 2024–25 school year and that the program “went well.” The solicitor said a draft agreement for a full‑time SRO has been prepared and circulated to the commission’s solicitor; feedback has been received and the parties are working toward final language. The solicitor said some matters will be discussed in executive session and that the agreement will be presented for final approval once the district solicitor completes review.
No contract or funding amount was presented at the committee meeting, and the solicitor did not provide final execution authority; board materials stated any final agreement would be executed subject to the district solicitor’s review and final approval.
