Washington County approves School Resource Officer agreement with Frontier Local School District
Summary
At its Nov. 26 meeting the Washington County Board of Commissioners approved an agreement assigning a county School Resource Officer to Frontier Local School District; the district will reimburse the Sheriff's Office for hours worked and the SRO will remain a county employee.
The Washington County Board of County Commissioners voted Nov. 26 to approve a School Resource Officer (SRO) agreement with Frontier Local School District, authorizing the Sheriff's Office to assign a regularly scheduled SRO and requiring the district to reimburse the county for the officer's hours.
The SRO will remain a county employee under the supervision and administration of the Sheriff's Office. Sheriff Mark Warden said he is "thrilled to have Officer Brockmeier at Frontier." President Charlie L. Schilling said he expects Officer Brockmeier "will have a large impact on the students." The motion to approve the contract was made by Vice President Eddie D. Place and seconded by Commissioner Ronald G. Nohe; a roll call resulted in each commissioner recorded as "aye." The minutes record the roll call as: Charlie Schilling aye; Eddie Place aye; Greg Nohe aye — the attendance list earlier in the minutes lists "Ronald G. Nohe," which the minutes do not reconcile.
The agreement makes clear the district reimburses the Sheriff's Office an hourly amount for the SRO's work. No hourly rate was stated on the record. The board did not request further amendments and the motion passed unanimously. The SRO assignment was recorded as an approved action at the meeting; further contract details were not specified in the minutes.
