ITEM EXPLANATION: The City agreed to provide the San Dieguito Unified School District with the SRO Program for the 2010-11 school year.

The total cost for one officer for the nine-month period is $90,557; San Dieguito Unified School District's share is $45,686. FISCAL IMPACT: The Police Department budgets for the cost of the entire SRO Program.

BEST COPY Lisa Hildabrand All Receive-Agenda Item #_ /_ For the Information nf th,.. Subject:FW: SRO Update i i Y COUNCIL (AT—- From: Gary Morrison Sent: Tuesday, June 28, 2011 12:49 PM To: Lisa Hildabrand Subject: Fwd: SRO Update Hi Lisa, Here is the info on the current status of the SRO Program. Gary Chief, Here is the current state of the SRO program: La Costa Canyon High, San Dieguito Union School District, will not be renewing their contract, with us this year. From what I understand, this SRO was the final one in their district to be cut, all the others were Deputies and they have been diminishing their numbers over the past couple of years. At this point, we have chosen not to place an officer at La Costa Canyon for "free". The beat officers in the surrounding jurisdiction will be handling the calls-for-service for this school. The school does currently have a civilian campus security person and may absorb additional from the district, nothing further on that. Carlsbad High, et, al, Carlsbad Unified School District, is currently contracted for 3 full-time officers, and they have renewed their contract for the 2011-2012 school year. Their contract is for a full-time officer at Carlsbad High, as well as for 2 other full-time to assist at the elementary schools, the middle/junior high schools and at the continuation school, Carlsbad Village Academy on a rotating/part-time basis. This contract is for one-half of the 3 officers salaries, for the 9 month school year. Should the district desire to have an officer present for summer school hours, then the contract is adjusted for the slight additional coverage. Kelly Distribution: City Clerk Asst.
