Board approves revised SRO agreement billed at $42.50 per hour; board to monitor itemized invoices
Summary
Board approved a revised School Resource Officer agreement that changes billing to $42.50 per hour. Members raised concerns about potential duplicate billing with city patrols and asked for itemized bills and closer coordination with municipal finance staff.
Board discussion focused on a revised SRO agreement that replaces semester installment billing with hourly billing at a rate of $42.50 per hour. The business/finance presenter said the change came after questions about the previous calculation and county meetings; the board voted to approve the agreement.
"They're just gonna bill us hourly at $42.50 per hour," the presenter said while explaining that each bill will include itemized charges. Board members said they would coordinate with municipal finance staff to confirm there is no duplicate billing (for example, a town or city charging both the school and the city for patrol time). The board emphasized it would monitor hours and invoices and noted the county HR director and the SRO would provide usage reports to the district.
The board moved to approve the SRO agreement; the motion was recorded as carried. Members asked staff to track hours and look for duplicate charges as invoices are submitted.
