Shrewsbury board approves amended shared‑services deal for Class III officers
Summary
The Shrewsbury Borough School District Board of Education approved an amendment to its shared‑services agreement with the Borough that requires the district to contribute $25,000 annually plus $2.50 per house for Class III special law enforcement officers, with specified payment dates.
At its Dec. 18, 2024 regular meeting the Shrewsbury Borough School District Board of Education approved an amendment to the district’s Shared Services Agreement with the Borough of Shrewsbury covering Class III Special Law Enforcement Officers.
The amendment requires the board to contribute $25,000 per year for the term of the agreement and an additional $2.50 per house for the residences the Class III officer is assigned to. The motion to approve the amendment was moved by Ms. Groom (Board President) and seconded by Mr. Galvin; the item passed in the subsequent voice vote noted in the minutes.
Under the amended terms the annual contribution is due within 30 days of board approval and thereafter by Jan. 31 of each year. The per‑household contribution is payable twice yearly, with payments due by Dec. 31 and June 30. The amendment states the Borough will be responsible for costs and fees incurred above these BOE contributions.
Board members did not request additional public comment on the amendment during the meeting. The minutes record the procedural motion and the payment schedule; no contract number or further implementation dates were specified in the minutes.
Next steps: the minutes indicate the amended agreement will be executed consistent with the amendment language; the minutes do not provide a timetable for implementation beyond the payment dates spelled out in the amendment.
