Board approves SRO agreement with hourly rate of $42.50
Summary
The board approved a School Resource Officer agreement that sets an hourly rate of $42.50 and contemplates roughly 24 hours (three 8-hour days); members discussed overtime expectations and monitoring of hours.
The board voted to authorize signing the School Resource Officer (SRO) agreement with the county at an hourly rate the presiding speaker described as $42.50. The contract was discussed in the context of whether to negotiate an hourly rate or an alternate flat budgeting method; the board’s recommendation favored hourly pay given the temporary nature of the arrangement. "$42.50 an hour on an hourly rate is what we are going to be what we're going to be agreeing on," the presiding speaker said.
Board members pushed for clarity on anticipated overtime and how hours would be monitored; the presiding speaker said regular monthly handouts from the SRO break down hours for verification. After discussion, a motion to approve the agreement under the understanding that the district will be billed hourly carried by voice vote.
