BOCC strikes School Resource Officer item for Community Christian School after cost discussion
Summary
The board removed from the agenda a proposal to assign a School Resource Officer to Community Christian School for 2025–2026 that would have charged CCS $5,408.33 per month; the motion to strike passed with Paul Meyer recorded as abstaining.
Cleveland County commissioners struck an agenda item that would have assigned a School Resource Officer (SRO) to Community Christian School for the 2025–2026 school year, with the school to pay a monthly fee of $5,408.33 to the Cleveland County Sheriff's Office. Undersheriff Mike Finley told the board that costs had increased about 5% and noted that school needs vary and that there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to SRO assignments. Finley said the Sheriff's Office supports the contract but acknowledged variability across campuses.
Commissioner Rusty Grissom moved, seconded by Chairman Rod Cleveland, to strike the agenda item. The vote was recorded as: Rod Cleveland, yes; Paul Meyer, abstain; Rusty Grissom, yes. The motion carried, and no further action was taken at the meeting on the SRO assignment.
