DATE: August 17, 2021
TO: Kent City Council
SUBJECT: Kent School District Police Services Agreements -
Authorize
MOTION: I move to authorize the Mayor to sign the Police Services
Agreement and School Resource Officer Agreement between the Kent
Police Department and the Kent School District for the 2020-2021 and
2021-2022 school years to provide a school safety liaison and two school
resource officers, subject to final contract terms and conditions acceptable
to the Police Chief and City Attorney.
SUMMARY: The Kent Police Department and the Kent School District have
partnered for many years to provide school resource officers for various Kent
schools, as well as a commander to serve as a liaison and safety advisor to the
District. These agreements cover the 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 school years for an
initial two-year term, with the option to extend the term of the contract for up to
five successive periods of 12 months each. The agreements for the 2020-2021
school year were not executed last year. That contract has been built into the
contract for the 2021-2022 school year to ensure the term is memorialized. Given
the impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, the parties agreed that the Department
would not charge the District for those services provided by the Department during
the 2020-2021 school year, as stated in the agreements.
Entering into another contract with the Kent School District will further the Police
Department's efforts to remain engaged within the community and assist with the
development and education of our youth within the City. The mission of the School
Resource Officer program is to help improve and maintain school safety and the
educational climate at the school. The purpose of this Agreement is to fulfill the
requirements of RCW 28A.320.124(2), which requires an agreement between
school districts and the local law enforcement agency for implementation of a
School Resource Officer program and specifies elements that must be incorporated
into such an agreement. Additionally, this Agreement fulfills the requirements of
RCW 10.93.160 and formalizes and clarifies the partnership between the Kent
School District and the Police Department. Finally, House Bill 1214, effective July
25, 2021, established training for school resource officers and other requirements
that were incorporated into the Agreements.
The total reimbursement from the District to the City will be as follows:
Packet Pg. 80
8.F
The District's reimbursement obligation for the School Resource Officers is
$187,894.48, which is approximately 60% of the total cost to the
Department for salaries and benefits.
The District's reimbursement obligation for the Liaison is $55,186.12, which
is approximately 25% of the total cost to the Department for salaries and
benefits.
