The Sheriff’s Office and School Board have received a new grant for SRO positions.  The grant is for $100,000.00 from the state, with a $50,000.00 match from the county.  In talking with Julia, the cost of an SRO’s salary is approximately $50,000.00.  With this grant, we request 3 new full time Deputy Sheriffs as SRO positions to fill these spots.  In doing this, the county will save around $30,000.00 from the 2019-2020 budget where they allotted $100,000.00 to pay for Deputy Sheriff’s to be at each school throughout the day.

The Sheriff's Department is requesting that this item be moved to the Action Agenda at tonight's meeting and effective for the next pay period beginning January 25,2020.
