The mission of the SRO unit was to ensure a safe learning environment for students, teachers, and school administrators. The School Resource Officer (SRO) Task Force was established at the direction of the Board. The Task Force was established to review the SRO program, consider modifications, and make recommendations to the Board of Education regarding the program. The Task Force met on September 24, October 8 and October 29, 2020, and drafted their recommendations. At its November 12, 2020, Board Meeting, the Board of Trustees took action to accept the recommendations of the School Resources Officer Task Force and approved the elimination of the School Resources Officer Program. At its December 16, 2020, board meeting, the Board took action to bring the agenda item back to the Board. The Board of Education has requested this prior agenda topic return for discussion and possible action. The Board was asked to review the prior Board decision to accept the School Resource Officer Task Force recommendations, and take action related to the School Resource Officer program, and/or any related School Resource Task Force recommendations. See presentation here. Board votes 4-1 to reinstate SRO Program with no funding by FUSD while in shelter-in-place and begin discussions to review parameters with the City and Police Department on options for next steps moving forward. FUSD and the City/Police Department would be asked to draft MOU. 11/12/20 During the November 12, 2020, Board of Education meeting, the decision was made to end FUSD’s agreement with the City of Fremont to keep our current School Resource Officer Program. As FUSD moves forward with building other structures of support for school safety and student wellness, while reshaping practices and protocols, we also acknowledge and appreciate that although SRO’s won’t be on campus each day moving forward, a successful collaboration with the Fremont Police Department must remain. Task Force has finished its work and is no longer operational. FUSD offers our thanks to the officers who have committed so many years of their time and energy to the service of our community and our schools.
