Summary

Board heard a request to maintain the Hayden Charter School resource officer contract at the same amount as last year (transcript records amount as "$133,53"); staff said the school is using a three-year grant and will renegotiate after the grant ends.

Randy Falcon presented a request that the Hayden Charter School resource officer (SRO) contract remain at the same amount as the prior year. The transcript records the amount as "$133,53" and staff said the school is using grant funding to cover the payment.

County staff said the superintendent understands that the county's current figure is lower than the school's internal number and that the grant runs for three years; at the grant's conclusion the school will seek to negotiate a new contract consistent with other districts.

Board members indicated they were amenable to keeping the contract at the recorded figure and directed staff to proceed on that basis. No formal vote to adopt a new multi-year contract or ordinance was taken during the meeting.

Ending: The item closed with the board agreeing to proceed on the basis described by staff; the exact dollar figure in the record appears incomplete and should be verified in the official contract documents before publication or action.
