10. Board to consider and take action on
School Resource Officer Program 367 for the 2023-2024 school year.
Discussion:
Mr. Thompson reported that Federal Program School
Resource Officer Program 367 will allow us $92,000.00 to use for hiring a security person for the school and to add security methods to the school. Mr. Thompson states he has spoken with Kevin Mitchell, Woodward County Sheriff regarding this issue and he is all for it and said the department would love to help. Sheriff Mitchell, in attendance, addressed the board and answered any questions. Board Member, Neal Stephenson, ask if the resource officer could also be used as a bus driver. Sheriif Mitchell stated that could not happen because the bus driver has to be a school employee and covered by the school, where the Resource Officer would be employed by the Sheriff's Dept. and they would be responsible for him. Mr.Thompson said that it has been discussed that Ft. Supply and S-M do this jointly costing each school $30,000.00, and then the other $62,000.00. can be used for items to make the school more secure. The question was brought up that what if both schools have games the same night, and Sheriff Mitchell stated he has reserve officers he can pull from if needed. Sheriff Mitchell stated it was something they have been trying to do for a long time and believes it will be good for safety of the school and students.
