Henry Co. R‑I board hears proposal for full‑time P.A.T. coordinator; SRO contact discussed
Summary
Administration proposed adding a full‑time Parent As Teachers coordinator with a $7,000 annual stipend and reported staff contact with Sheriff Brown about a possible School Resource Officer; no hiring or funding decisions were made.
Board administrators briefed trustees on two personnel and safety items at the Nov. 14 Henry County R‑I Board meeting in Windsor.
Mr. Brad Hunter described a proposal to add a full‑time Parent As Teachers (P.A.T.) coordinator to administer the program’s operations (excluding home visits and screenings). The position would be a 52‑week, full‑time role and include an annual stipend of $7,000. The board did not vote on hiring or funding the position at this meeting.
Separately, Mr. Hunter said he and Mr. Justin Wells have been in contact with 'Sheriff Brown' regarding the potential of placing a School Resource Officer (SRO) in the district. No formal memorandum, contract, or funding source for an SRO was presented; Mr. Hunter framed the discussion as preliminary outreach.
Board members asked questions of administration; no procedural votes or commitments were recorded for either the P.A.T. position or any SRO arrangement. Administrators said calendar, staffing and safety items will be revisited as proposals are refined and budget implications are developed.
