RE:          School Resource Officer Agreement with the Gulf Breeze Police Department

I am requesting approval of the School Resource Officer Agreement with the Gulf Breeze Police Department and the necessary funding for the placement of two school resource officers on the campuses of Gulf Breeze Middle School and Gulf Breeze High School.   The attached agreement delineates the responsibilities of each party in reference to this agreement.  Please note the total cost to the Santa Rosa County School District to provide the S.R.O. program at the afore-mentioned schools. The cost to the District will equate to $59,865.74 (50% of total) which represents a reduction from the previous year.

Your consideration and approval of this request is essential to our ability to continue to provide a safe learning environment at these schools. Thank you for your consideration.
