Gage County approves memorandum for school resource deputy with Freeman, Southern and Diller‑Odell schools
Summary
The board approved a memorandum of understanding to provide a school resource deputy beginning Aug. 1, 2025; the sheriff said the agreement automatically rolls over unless a party terminates in writing and the board voted 7‑0 to approve the MOU.
The Gage County Board of Supervisors voted Feb. 4 to approve a memorandum of understanding with Freeman, Southern and Diller‑Odell public schools to provide a school resource deputy beginning Aug. 1, 2025.
The sheriff told the board the MOU uses a rollover structure and will continue annually unless a party provides written termination within 60 days. “It is not (an annual renewal that returns to the board); it will only come back to you if it’s terminated in writing,” the sheriff said when describing the agreement’s mechanics.
Board members expressed support for the arrangement, noting the program’s positive reception in schools and community benefits from having a known resource in the schools. Motion to approve was made by Lytle and seconded by Adams; the transcript recorded a vote of seven in favor.
Why it matters: The MOU formalizes resource-officer coverage for several school districts in the county and clarifies the administrative terms for renewal and termination.
What happens next: County staff and the sheriff’s office will implement the MOU terms and coordinate with participating school districts on start dates and cost-sharing arrangements.
