Staff reviewed the memorandum of understanding for the district's school resource officer and explained how the school-safety grant factors into the position's funding.
Staff member (S2) described the SRO arrangement with the Gregg County Sheriff's Department, naming Corey Ward as the SRO and noting he has been with the district about three years. S2 explained the cost calculation ("we pay $315.15 per day"), an annual services total listed as $56,007.27, and that the district applies for a matching $50,000 school-safety grant that does not fully cover the cost.
