Board OKs three‑year safety agreement with City of Waukegan; two SROs announced
Summary
The board authorized a three-year extension of an intergovernmental agreement with the City of Waukegan to fund school resource officers (two SROs), at $146,666 per year (three‑year total ~ $439,998.39) contingent on city council approval Aug. 3. Trustees clarified which campuses will receive coverage.
The Waukegan board authorized a three‑year extension of an intergovernmental agreement with the City of Waukegan to provide school‑safety services, including assignment of two school resource officers. The administration recommended extending the IGA for fiscal years 2027–2029 at an annual cost of $146,666 (a three‑year total shown in the agenda as $439,998.39).
Board members asked where the SROs would be stationed; a district representative said one SRO will be assigned to the Washington campus and the other to Brookside. The motion passed by roll call after members exchanged questions about coverage for middle schools and how school safety staffing relates to broader staffing decisions.
The board’s approval is contingent on the city council approving the agreement at its Aug. 3 meeting; the administration said the district will finalize deployment contingent on that approval.
