School resource officers will be traded out for sheriff's deputies.
The board's majority vote means the superintendent will begin contract negotiations with the Sheriff's Office for school resource officer services next school year.
This means the superintendent will begin contract negotiations with the sheriff's office for school resource officer services for the 2024-2025 school year. The conversation brought mixed feelings about the future of school safety between school board members and Clay County parents Thursday night. The decision could mean this will put Clay County deputies in schools instead of school resource officers.
Some argued the sheriff's office has more resources to benefit students. But others said the officers in Clay County Schools have years of law enforcement experience and the department operates fine."The district police are considered a specialized department that works to prevent juvenile delinquency through close contact and positive relationships with students," Steven Mills added.
