Reading says school resource officer post is vacant and has been reposted
Summary
City staff told the council the Reading Community Schools SRO resigned; the city reposted the position (full‑ or part‑time) on MCOLES and the city website and is awaiting the school’s decision on the requested 1,480 hours.
City Manager/Clerk/Treasurer Kimberly Blythe told the Reading City Council on Jan. 14 that the school resource officer position at Reading Community Schools is vacant after the officer who had been hired resigned.
Blythe said the city reposted the opening as either a part‑time or full‑time position and advertised it on the Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards (MCOLES) site and the city’s website. She said the city is waiting to hear from the school about whether it will agree to the originally requested 1,480 hours for the SRO; the number of hours the school ultimately requests will affect whether the city hires a part‑time or full‑time officer.
No timeline for hiring or an interim arrangement was recorded in the minutes.
