Selectmen approve three-year renewal of school resource officer agreement with 90/10 cost split
Summary
The board approved a three‑year renewal of the Memorandum of Understanding assigning a School Resource Officer to Marlborough Elementary School, with a 3% annual salary increase and cost-sharing of 90% in the school budget and 10% in the town budget; Dr. Holly Hageman will supply updated data-collection language.
Town Manager David Porter recommended renewing the existing Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Town and the Marlborough School District for a School Resource Officer (SRO) assigned to Marlborough Elementary School for an additional three-year term beginning July 1, 2026.
Porter said the current agreement is well written and recommended keeping the contract terms unchanged. Superintendent Dr. Holly Hageman will follow up to provide the contract’s data collection and monitoring language requested by the board. The MOU provides for a 3% annual salary increase; the transcript records that 90% of the cost will be borne by the school budget and 10% by the town budget.
Selectman Joe Asklar moved to accept the renewal as written with the new effective date of July 1, 2026. The motion was seconded and the board approved the renewal.
