Lockney council declines to help fund School Resource Officer at Lockney ISD
Summary
Facing a proposal from Floyd County Sheriff Paul Raissez, the Lockney City Council unanimously voted not to contribute to funding a School Resource Officer at Lockney ISD. The decision leaves any SRO funding to the school district or other partners; next steps were not specified.
The Lockney City Council voted unanimously Nov. 18 to decline a request to contribute to establishing a School Resource Officer (SRO) at Lockney Independent School District. Floyd County Sheriff Paul Raissez presented the proposal; Councilman Donnie McLaughlin moved that "the City of Lockney does not participate in helping fund a School Resource Officer," and Councilman Edward Marks seconded. The motion carried with all members voting in favor.
The meeting record does not specify alternative funding sources or an implementation timeline for the SRO position. The council did not direct staff to pursue a funding arrangement or to return with a specific financing plan, leaving the matter to the sheriff's office and the school district to pursue other options.
