St. Peter council approves two‑year school resource officer agreement with School District 508
Summary
The council approved a two‑year contract to provide one school resource officer to School District 508 through the 2027 school year; the agreement includes a minor data‑access language update to align with state law.
St. Peter — The City Council voted May 12 to approve a two‑year agreement with School District 508 to provide one school resource officer (SRO) for the 2025–2027 school years.
City staff said the contract continues the same financial terms as the prior agreement, with one minor modification to language on access to data to ensure compliance with state law. Interim School Superintendent Jeff Olson was cited by staff as likely to take the same item up at the school board’s next meeting.
The council approved the accompanying resolution by roll call. Staff said the arrangement preserves prior cost-sharing terms and that the SRO will operate under the same scope of responsibilities as before; the updated text clarifies records and data access to match statutory language.
Why it matters: The agreement keeps a school‑based officer in place under existing financial terms while revising data language to align the contract with state requirements. The district is expected to consider the item at its next board meeting.
The resolution was approved; no additional conditions or amendments were recorded during the council meeting.
