Oh, so it's like hungry and more hours.

And more LDL people then need it.

So you see that the programming role really built connections.

And I think we hear that pretty regularly in communications that we have in the show with our staff and staff.

Um SROs are really top match.

I mean they are absolutely dedicated to the titles and learning about them all their need licensing where they are at on any given day.

Um they develop a piece of the relationships, and then when the children, the students see them at the community or see any officer in uniform on the community, I think it really helps them out.

I'm aware it really helps them kind of de-stag the ties.

And the purpose is I'm here to help one more.

Um and is there um some work around culturally responsive training for anyone serving in this role?

Our SROs participate in all of the school culturally sensitive training.

They they attend with the staff.

Um specific to a police officer in the school.

I'm not sure.

Yes, President Tomonic, all star candidate.

Yes, we do have various SRO trainings throughout the year.

Certainly when we uh select a new SRO that's never done out to the year related to course anything that the district or that particular school team will try to meet those needs as well to make sure that they are trained, informed and culturally sensitive in various topics.

Certainly I have another question, but I'll I'll yield and I'll actually call you.

I would really be interested in maybe some training with um families and community members on how they think that it's going for the SROs.

Yeah, any type any type of feedback that we can get to gauge how effective our SRO program is or the individual officers in those schools, we would love to receive that.

Yeah.

Thank you.

I thank you, Counselor Kennedy.

Counselor Owl.

Thank you, President Tomonic.

Um thank you, Counselor Kennedy.

Um, you've asked a lot of the questions that I was kind of asking.

I'm just curious.

Um I know three years ago when this um this uh agreement was before us three years ago for the previous contract, I'd raised some questions.

I know there was a consulting group that had come in doing uh various table conversations with different um school community groups regarding the SROs.

Um I just wanted to follow back up.

It's coming back into my mind, but I wasn't really sure.

Like, how are we taking some of the advice or suggestions that we had got gathered from those community sessions and how is that reflected in this agreement in a con contract?

Or what different is any asking for more questions, or I I guess uh just wanting to like touch back on that while we're discussing this.

Um that was my first ask, uh just curious to hear more about it.

My second one was um so I'm sure the school SRO um uh if there's a um punitive action being taken by um by them against a um a school youth, th that would be recorded, right?

So I'm curious uh within the three the previous three year contract, how many punitive actions were taken and if there's a racial breakdown of that?

Yes, uh President Tomonic, uh Tomonic counselor all uh in regard to your first question.

Um I can't really speak to that right now.

I certainly can make uh Lieutenant Kenzwalk, who is the lieutenant that oversees the SRO programming along with Sergeant Jambore to try to get you some of that data um and information.

Uh in regard to the stats, uh we would have access to that data and can break that down.

Um I don't have that available at my ready.

Uh I'll ask um our budget manager Kerry Cronin if perhaps any conversations during their contract negotiations with ISD 709, uh if any of those topics came up.

Yeah.

And I just want to be clear, uh I've heard from those tabletop conversations when I had attended some of those sessions, so that's why it's coming to my memory.

And I remember at the table that I was specifically with, there were some youth of color and some black youth who were specifically talking about how uncomfortable they felt that there's uh presence of police with guns in their in their schools, especially with um just knowing what the national rhetoric around guns in schools has been.

So that's where that question is kind of coming from, like you know, listening to those youth at at the table and then kind of knowing from my own experience as well.

And then at the same time recognizing that I've heard from many families as well who appreciate the SROs in the schools as well.

So where do we find that balance to make sure all of our youth are feeling safe and comfortable and protected?

So thank you.

Thank you.

Uh thank you, Counselor.

Oh, Counselor uh Dir Wachter.

Uh thank you, President Tomonic.

I have two questions.

Um, my first one is can we expect to receive that data by Monday?

Um not sure who would be sending it.

Uh President uh Tomonic, Counselor Dirk, Dirk Walker.

Um yes, I I can try.

Uh I can make an effort to get that done even tomorrow or first thing Monday morning.
