Acting Superintendent Dr. Schottwald told the board there was a motion to renew an agreement with Salem Township to provide School Resource Officer services to the district and described the setup as a model some schools use.

Dr. Schottwald said the district has an arrangement that includes an SRO from Salem Township, armed security personnel, and a working relationship with the Burbank Police Department. “We have another year at this model,” she said, describing the parties involved as a “solid security team.”

Why this matters: SRO agreements set the framework for school-police interactions and on-campus security. The transcript records the report that the renewal was on the agenda; it does not record a formal board vote in this meeting on the renewal.
