Sheriff and commissioners update SRO MOU with Eastbrook Community Schools; payments increase
Summary
The sheriff asked the board to approve revisions to the school resource officer memorandum of understanding with Eastbrook Community Schools to reflect deputy salary increases and additional training funds; Eastbrook's payment was adjusted to $57,003.98 and part-time SRO payment to $14,002.22 and the MOU was approved pending county-attorney review.
The county sheriff presented changes to the memorandum of understanding with Eastbrook Community Schools for school resource officer (SRO) services, reflecting recent deputy pay raises and an increased training line. The revised Eastbrook payment was stated as $57,003.98 and the part-time SRO payment as $14,002.22; the revised agreement also shifted more training costs to the school district to reduce pressure on the sheriff’s budget.
The sheriff said similar adjustments will be negotiated with Oak Hill and Marion school districts. Commissioners approved the Eastbrook MOU pending review by the county attorney (Mr. Harker) and noted they would return the adjusted agreements for Oak Hill and Marion when those negotiations are concluded.
The board discussed that while reimbursements cover a portion of salary costs the sheriff’s office still incurs some operational expenses (vehicles, insurance) associated with SROs. Commissioners asked that final MOUs be sent to county legal staff for review before execution.
