School Resource Officer Intergovernmental Agreement: The Board received a proposed School Resource Officer Intergovernmental Agreement between CCHS District 165 and the Carbondale Police Department in their board packet. Superintendent Murphy advised the Board he had been contacted by the police department regarding several revisions they would like to make to the agreement before it is approved. Member King advised the Board she had no concerns with the agreement, but that she did have concerns regarding the position itself. She stated she was concerned because the person was going to be employed during school hours only and not during extra-curricular activities. Superintendent Murphy responded that CCHS currently employs off-duty police officers for security supervision at extra-curricular activities in addition to our safety and security director. Superintendent Murphy advised that this practice would continue with a resource officer. Member King stated that when the agreement was previously proposed in 1999 overtime pay was an underlying factor in not approving the agreement at that time. She stated she believed security continuity was very important in the building and she did not feel that would occur with a resource officer. Superintendent Murphy responded that he did not believe overtime pay would be an issue this time because CCHS employs off-duty police officers as needed for additional supervision at extra-curricular activities. Superintendent Murphy also advised that he believed there would still be security continuity in the building with a resource officer. Member Sherwood noted several benefits of hiring a resource officer in Alton, a previous district he was involved in. Member Durr stated he was concerned by how the change in management would be handled. He asked who would be responsible for those duties. Superintendent Murphy responded that Daniel Booth and his assistant principals would handle the management duties. Member King asked if the person would carry a gun. Superintendent Murphy responded that yes the person would carry a gun because they would be a Carbondale Police Officer and not a CCHS employee. Member Sherwood noted that if the person was armed, it would be best if it was a School Resource Officer as opposed to a Security Director. Superintendent Murphy advised the Board there were positives and negatives to both sides of the issue and that if the negatives should outweigh the positives the agreement could always be terminated. Superintendent Murphy advised the Board he would bring a revised agreement to the June Board meeting Request for Leave of Absence: Motion by King, seconded by Flowers, to approve the request of Linaya Germann for a one-year (2012-13 school year) leave of absence.
