Board tables MOU with King County Sheriff's Office pending SRO training details
Summary
An addendum MOU with the King County Sheriff's Office to provide school resource officers was presented; a board member requested information about SRO training for de-escalation and working with students with special needs and moved to table the agreement pending that information.
The board opened an addendum item to review a memorandum of understanding with the King County Sheriff's Office concerning school resource officers. A board member asked whether SROs "receive training on deescalation, restraint or seclusion practices, or for training with students with special needs," requesting that such information be included as a requirement in the MOU if possible.
Given the outstanding training questions, a board member moved to table the agenda item and the board voted to table it pending receipt of the requested training information. Superintendent Lucas and the chair said the superintendent's office will gather the requested details and return the item to a future meeting.
