BACKGROUND:
The School Board of Brevard County and the Cocoa Police Department desire the renewal of the agreement to provide School Resource Officers for Cocoa High School, Cambridge Elementary and Endeavour Elementary for the 2024-2025 school years. Also enter into a MOU with Emma Jewel Charter Academy to provide a school resource officer for the 2024-2025 school year. During the 2018 legislative session the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School safety Act was signed into law and requires a number of school safety initiatives. Of the more pressing initiatives is for assignment of one or more safe-school officers at each school facility.
Staff are requesting the Council's approval of this multi-year contract for the FY24/FY25 budget years, pending final approval of the City of Cocoa's budget, Brevard County School Board's budget and Emma Jewel Charter Academy's budget. Brevard County School Board is requesting that there be two (2) signed originals. Once two (2) fully executed contracts are complete, one (1) original will be sent to our agency.
