Bill > HF2088

This bill requires school district boards that contract with law enforcement agencies for school resource officers (SROs) to submit an annual report to the Minnesota Commissioner of Education with specific details about their SRO contracts. The annual report must include: the name of the law enforcement agency providing the SRO, the contract's start and end dates, the number of SROs contracted, and the specific school sites where the SROs will be assigned. The bill amends an existing statute to add these new reporting requirements, and the provisions will take effect on July 1, 2025. A school resource officer is typically a sworn law enforcement officer assigned to work in a school to provide security, build positive relationships with students, and serve as a liaison between the school and local law enforcement. By mandating this annual reporting, the bill aims to increase transparency and provide state-level oversight of SRO contracts in Minnesota's school districts.
