Board extends SRO contract with Rockland Police Department after trustees praise program
Summary
Trustee Tiffany Sadoff pulled consent item 8.15 to highlight and then move to extend the district contract with the Rockland Police Department for school resource officers (SROs). The board approved the extension unanimously after brief remarks supporting the program.
Trustee Tiffany Sadoff pulled consent item 8.15 to call attention to the district’s contract with the Rockland Police Department for school resource officers and urged the board to continue that partnership. “They work really hard to create an atmosphere on our campuses that’s very positive,” Sadoff said, and moved to approve an extension of the contract so SROs can remain on campuses.
The motion was seconded and approved on a unanimous roll call. Clerk Georgia read each trustee’s vote; the record shows the motion passed with all trustees voting yes. Sadoff noted local recognition of SRO Jesse Irvin as a Spring View site employee of the year as an example of the program’s campus impact.
Board members offered supporting comments before the vote, praising the relationship between the district and the Rockland Police Department and describing the SROs’ role in campus safety and community engagement. President Julie Hupp thanked Trustee Sadoff for calling out the item before the board moved to a formal vote.
The extension was approved as a consent‑pulled item; no additional conditions or amendments were recorded during the meeting. The district did not provide details in the meeting about contract term length or any changes to cost; the board returned to the published agenda after the vote.
