Committee adopts red-line revision to Policy 4407 on School Resource Officers
Summary
The Committee on Strategic Planning and Budget approved the red-line revision to Policy 4407 (School Resource Officer program), adding Miranda-rights language after consultation with legal counsel; the vote was unanimous. Administration said students helped shape the changes.
The Committee on Strategic Planning and Budget voted unanimously to approve the red-line revision of Policy 4407, the School Resource Officer (SRO) program, at its meeting in the Central Services Building.
Superintendent Brenda Casella told the committee that the version before them includes new language addressing Miranda rights added in consultation with legal counsel. "I'm recommending that the board adopt the attached red line version of policy 4407, School Resource Officer Program this evening," Casella said, and thanked students and staff who contributed to the rewrite.
Casella said the policy was revised with student input and that the new paragraph (listed in the draft as paragraph e) reflects the requested Miranda-rights language. There were no public speakers on this item.
Director Seamsen moved to approve the red-line draft; the second was not specified in the transcript. The secretary called the roll and recorded seven 'Aye' votes, after which the chair announced, "That's 7 ayes. The motion passes." The committee did not record any dissenting votes or abstentions during the roll call.
The committee's approval at this meeting resolved the committee-level question on the red-line draft and the item will be transmitted through the board governance process per the district's procedures.
