Summary
The board approved a first amendment to the Summit County Sheriff's Office School Resource Officer (SRO) funding agreement, reducing the total contract to $1,560,919.60 to reflect consolidation from five district buildings to four; the district will maintain one SRO per building under the amended agreement.
The Green Local Schools Board of Education voted to approve a first amendment to its School Resource Officer (SRO) funding agreement with the Summit County Sheriff’s Office, reducing the contract total to $1,560,919.60 for the period January 2024 through Dec. 31, 2026.
Board discussion explained the reduction reflects the district’s consolidation from five buildings to four: “Since we’re going from 5 buildings to 4 buildings, we’re maintaining 1 SRO per building,” a district official said. The amendment keeps an SRO assigned to each remaining building while lowering the overall contract cost to align with the smaller building footprint.
The motion to approve the first amendment carried on a 4‑0 roll call. Board members did not detail any changes to SRO duties or schedules during the meeting; the amendment appears limited to funding and the period covered.
Administrators said the district will continue to provide one SRO per building as promised to the community. The amended agreement covers a contract period that began in January 2024 and runs through the end of 2026; the board did not present a line‑item breakdown during the meeting.
The board’s approval authorizes the superintendent to execute the amendment with the sheriff’s office and to continue SRO operations under the revised funding arrangement.
