Report
Summary
The Police Department enters into Intergovernmental Agreements with various school districts (at the school district's request) to assist with the cost of SROs deployed in schools. Funding for these SROs is provided through partnerships with the Arizona Department of Education and individual school districts. Through this partnership, school district funds reimburse the City for 75 percent of the SRO's salary, while the remaining 25 percent is paid by the City.
The amended ordinance will add Paseo Hills Elementary to the 2022-23 list of school districts. All other terms will remain unchanged.
Contract Term
The terms of these agreements are one year, with varying start and end dates to coincide with each school's 2022-23 school year.
Financial Impact
Cost to the City is 25 percent match for the SRO salary and fringe benefits. Funds are available in the Police Department's budget.
