Committee recommends approval of Blue Valley SRO agreement; districts to reimburse hourly costs
Summary
The committee voted to recommend to city council approval of an agreement with Blue Valley School District to provide a school resource officer for the 2026-27 school year; Major Zach Stevens said districts reimburse roughly 63% of an average $58-per-hour salary, with an example district rate shown as $38 per hour.
Major Zach Stevens presented three agreements proposing that the police department assign SROs and related equipment to local schools for the 2026-27 school year. "The agreements are for the police department to assign school resource officers and related equipment for the 2026 and 2027 school year," he told the committee.
Major Stevens said the agreements provide partial reimbursement from the districts and that the positions are already budgeted, so there are no new budgetary impacts. He explained the reimbursement formula is based on an average salary (about $58 per hour) with districts providing roughly 63% of that cost; typical packet examples show a $38-per-hour charge to districts.
A committee member moved to recommend approval of the Blue Valley agreement to the city council. The chair called for the vote and members present said "aye," advancing the recommendation to council.
The committee took identical actions for the Shawnee Mission and Saint Thomas Aquinas agreements (motions and recorded verbal 'ayes' recommending council approval).
