data on SRO involvement with school based incidents was also provided. This week second <br /> semester incident data became available and is attached to this document. <br /> At the end of the past school year, a short video production commenced to highlight how our <br /> SRO's make a difference in our schools and in children's lives each day. The capture of video <br /> footage from CHCCS has been completed, Orange County Schools video capture is scheduled, <br /> and a completed video should be available for viewing before the September 28, 2017 joint <br /> meeting. <br /> This summer all school resource officers and secondary administrators participated in a SRO <br /> summit. The primary purpose was to provide our SROs and administrators with focused time to <br /> learn, review, and discuss best practices. We spent considerable time reviewing and clarifying <br /> the role of the SRO and the role of an administrator with an eye towards most school incidents <br /> being handled by administration. The summit included a comprehensive presentation by the <br /> board attorney and scenarios that were discussed in a group format (resources attached). <br /> Expectations regarding the respective roles were included in the back to school in-service for all <br /> staff to clarify that, in most cases, administration should respond first. <br /> As we begin the 2017-18 school year, we have plans to continue implementation efforts of our <br /> MOU. The district will be creating and providing a school resource officer specific Equity 101 <br /> module. Dr. Schiltz will be training school resource officers on multi-tiered systems of support. <br /> School resource officers will also receive training from Our Children's Place on strategies to <br /> support students with incarcerated parents. We are also researching additional training in the <br /> areas of National Incident Management System and the NC school resource officer certification <br /> program. <br /> Administration is seeking Board input and feedback to prepare for the September joint meeting. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: None <br /> PERSONNEL IMPACT: None <br /> RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Board provide input and feedback <br /> to prepare for the September joint meeting. <br /> 30 <br />
