Summary
The Morgan County Board of Education unanimously approved a two-year memorandum of understanding with the Morgan County Sheriff’s Office to establish a school resource officer (SRO) program from 05/31/2025 to 05/31/2027; no funding amount was stated in the meeting record.
The Morgan County Board of Education voted unanimously to approve a memorandum of understanding with the Morgan County Sheriff’s Office to establish a school resource officer program for a two-year period from 05/31/2025 to 05/31/2027. Mr. Tarpley moved for approval and Mr. Clark seconded the motion; no board members opposed.
The memorandum, as recorded in the agenda item, sets the SRO program term dates but the board meeting transcript does not include any details about staffing levels, funding sources, duties of the SROs, or the cost to the district. The board’s approval was recorded without discussion in the available segments.
Board documents included with the agenda (not transcribed here) are likely to contain operational details and fiscal terms; the transcripted motion and vote are limited to the board’s formal approval of the MOU. The transcript shows the motion was made by Mr. Tarpley and seconded by Mr. Clark, and passed by a unanimous voice/hand vote.
The board did not record any public comment or staff presentation details about the SRO program in the available transcript. Next steps would typically include execution of the MOU by the superintendent and sheriff’s office representatives and subsequent operational planning, but the transcript does not specify assigned follow-up tasks or dates.
