Board tables MOU with ROE to hire school resource officers until July
Summary
The board discussed an MOU with the regional education office to hire two school resource officers but tabled the agreement while lawyers finalize terms and county coordination; the item is expected back in July for approval.
The board discussed a proposed memorandum of understanding with the ROE to hire two school resource officers. Members noted the MOU is still between lawyers from Knox County and the ROE and that approval could not be completed at the meeting; the chair said the item will be tabled and returned for approval in July.
Board members also raised operational details: applicants must be licensed as school resource officers and there are cross-county coordination issues because the district spans two counties, which affects hiring and deployment. The board voted to table the item pending legal review and final MOU language.
