File Attachment:
Summary: School Resource Officers are furnished by the police department, supervised by the police department, and housed on school site campuses. These officers provide school support, supervision, and create a proactive environment to maintain school safety. These positions were eliminated in 2011 with city budget cuts.

As a result of joint conversations with the City of Concord, we are recommending an MOU with the city to co fund these positions on the comprehensive high school campuses of Concord. These campuses would include Concord High, Mt. Diablo High School and Ygnacio Valley High School. This position will be evaluated annually to confirm this agreement and to approve resources. Regarding the remaining two high schools, we are interested in pursuing options to support these sites as well.

During our community outreach meetings, there were strong discussions about the need for increased school supervision, consistent discipline, and a safe environment for our students. This action is in line with this goal.
Funding: Central and Site based funds
Fiscal Impact $240,000 to fund 1.5 positions
Recommendation: Approve the Memorandum of Understanding with the City of Concord for the restoration of School Resource Officers at Concord High School, Mt. Diablo High School and Ygnacio Valley High School.
