NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements of the
Parties, it is agreed as follows:
Article 1
LEGAL AUTHORITY AND PURPOSE
1.1 The legal authority for CITY and the SCUC ISD to enter into this agreement is the Texas
Interlocal Cooperation Act, Chapter 791 of the Texas Government Code and Chapter 37 of
the Texas Education Code. The purpose, terms, rights and duties of the parties as stated
below are established to the greatest extent allowed by, or limited by, applicable law.
1.2 The purpose of this Agreement is "to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of local
governments by cooperative contracting, to the greatest possible extent, with one another
to establish mutually agreed terms, rights, duties and guidelines to ensure that CITY and
SCUC ISD have a shared understanding of the role and responsibility of each in
maintaining safe schools, improving the learning environment and supporting educational
opportunities for all students, consistent with Texas Education Code section 37.081.
1.3 The mission of the School Resource Officer ("SRO") program is to place a community law
enforcement officer(s) on each physical SCUC ISD campus to build working relationships
with schools, students, parents, staff and visitors; to address on-site security; to maintain
safe schools; to serve as a positive role -model for students; and to provide a direct link with
the CITY.
Article 2
SRO PROGRAM STRUCTURE
2.1 Under this framework, the SROs are first and foremost law enforcement officers and
employees of the CITY and are not employees of the District. The SROs will be
responsible for carrying out all duties and responsibilities of a law enforcement officer
and will always remain under the control, through the chain of command, of the CITY.
School officials will ensure that non -criminal student disciplinary matters remain the
responsibility of school staff and not the SROs. Enforcement of the Student Code of
Conduct is the responsibility of teachers and administrators. The SROs will refrain from
being involved in the enforcement of disciplinary rules that do not constitute violations of
law, except to support staff in maintaining a safe school environment.
2.2 Although the SROs have been placed in a formal educational environment, the SROs retain
official duties of law enforcement officers. The SROs will intervene when it is necessary
to prevent any criminal act or maintain a safe school environment. Citations will be issued,
and arrests made when appropriate and in accordance with Texas law and CITY policy.
The SROs or others within their Chain of Command will have the final decision on whether
criminal charges will be filed. The CITY reserves the right to temporarily remove SROs if
additional officers are needed during a critical incident, natural disaster, or for immediate
service of public safety.
2.3 The SROs are not formal counselors or educators and will not act as such. However, with
the agreement of CITY, the SROs may be used as a law enforcement resource to assist
students, faculty, staff, and all persons involved with the school. The SROs can be utilized
to help instruct students and staff on a variety of subjects, ranging from alcohol and drug
education to formalized academic classes. The SROs may use these opportunities to build
rapport between the students, families and staff.
2.4 The SROs will confer with the principal or other appropriate administrator, as needed, to
develop plans and strategies to prevent and/or minimize dangerous situations and criminal
activity on or near the campus or involving students at school -related activities.
2.5 SROs will be hired pursuant to CITY hiring policies, will be fully qualified as police
officers in the State of Texas and will primarily be directed by the Chief of Police and
other officers of the police force of the CITY to patrol and provide a police presence on
such properties and campuses owned or leased by SCUC ISD as set forth herein.
Article 3

The CITY will be responsible for the following:
