Board renews School Resource Officer contract with Fort Thomas Schools

The Graham County Board of Supervisors voted to renew its contract with Fort Thomas Schools for a county deputy to continue serving as a School Resource Officer.

County manager Dustin presented the recommendation, saying the arrangement "has been mutually beneficial and a great partnership" and recommended continuing the agreement. Vice Chair Howard and other supervisors described the SRO assignment as "a great benefit for the county," and the board approved the renewal by voice vote.

The motion to approve the renewed contract was moved during the meeting and carried after members present voiced approval. No dollar amount or contract term was specified on the record during this discussion. Board members asked only logistical questions about the officer's time and whether the deputy would spend any time at Mount Turnbull Academy, which Dustin confirmed the officer would cover as part of duties in the community.

The action was taken during a regular agenda item; the board did not attach additional conditions or amendments during the vote. The county indicated staff will coordinate schedules with Fort Thomas Schools and Mount Turnbull Academy as needed.
