3.3. Discuss, consider and take action to authorize a formal request to the City for an additional School Resource Officer
Rationale:
I have had several conversations with the Norfolk City Police Chief, Bill Mizner, over the last three to four years regarding the possibility of hiring an additional School Resource Officer for our schools. We both believe that it is time for us to actively pursue this option now, as we strive to keep our students and staff safe and secure.
This additional SRO would be located at the Junior High School, but he/she would also serve our middle and elementary schools, when needed. Our intention would be for this SRO to have a strong prevention focus. His/her presence would not only provide security, but would also serve to build positive relationships with our students, connect them with needed resources, and help them make wise (law abiding and SAFE) decisions. I am asking you to authorize me to make a formal request to the City of Norfolk to provide for us, an additional School Resource Officer, utilizing the same cost-sharing arrangement that we have in place for our SRO at the Senior High. I believe that this is a critical step that we need to take in order to enhance the safety of our students and staff, promote positive relationships with law enforcement officers, and prevent unsafe and unlawful behaviors in our students.
Recommended Motion(s):
Motion to authorize a formal request to the City for an additional School Resource Officer passed with a motion by Board Member #1 and a second by Board Member #2.
