What’s in it
11(5) provides supplementary weighting for school districts and area education agencies that share specified operational functions for at least percent of the school year. Supplementary weighting under this provision is available for school budget years beginning on or after July 1, 2019, through the budget year beginning July 1, 2024. This bill adds a school resource officer to the list of eligible operational functions and positions eligible for a supplementary weighting of five pupils. The bill defines “school resource officer” to mean the same as the federal definition.
Read the full explanation
The federal definition of “school resource officer” is a career law enforcement officer, with sworn authority, deployed in community-oriented policing, and assigned by the employing police department or agency to work in collaboration with schools and community-based organizations to address crime and disorder problems, gangs, and drug activities affecting or occurring in or around an elementary or secondary school; to develop or expand crime prevention efforts for students; to educate likely school-age victims in crime prevention and safety; to develop or expand community justice initiatives for students; to train students in conflict resolution, restorative justice, and crime awareness; to assist in the identification of physical changes in the environment that may reduce crime in or around the school; and to assist in developing school policy that addresses crime and to recommend procedural changes. The bill takes effect upon enactment and applies to school budget years beginning on or after July 1, 2019, through the school budget year beginning July 1, 2024.
