This contract is our annual renewal contract with the City of Battle Ground for staffing the School Resource Officer (SRO) positions in our city schools. This year, the difference is the addition of a second SRO due to the grant that was awarded to the City of Battle Ground and approved by both the City and the District. With the addition of a second SRO, the amount of the contract exceeded $75,000.00 and needs board approval before signing the contract. The final contract amount reads as follows:
The Battle Ground Public Schools shall pay the City of Battle Ground the sum of seventy-eight thousand two hundred thirty dollars ($78,230) for the SRO assigned to Battle Ground High School. The Battle Ground Public Schools shall additionally pay the City of Battle Ground the lesser of either fifty-two thousand four hundred ninety dollars ($52,490) OR 50% of the actual base salary minus the grant funds received by the City for the second SRO to be assigned to support other District schools in the City of Battle Ground. This annual sum shall be divided into two equal installments of $65,360 (or the adjusted amount of the salary for the second SRO) for a total amount due for the 2022-2023 School Year of $130,720 (or the adjusted amount based upon the salary of the second SRO). The City shall invoice the District for the first payment due no later than October 1st and the City shall invoice the District for the second payment due no later than April 1st. The District shall pay the invoice due within thirty (30) days of receipt.

Background:
This is an annual renewal of a contract since 2017-18. Daybreak Youth Services is a residential treatment agency providing inpatient services to young people, ages 12-18, who require rehabilitation services for drug, alcohol or mental health issues. Daybreak Youth Services is not a private school. By law (including RCW Chapter 28A.225, Chapter 28A.155 and WAC Chapter 392-172), Battle Ground Public Schools has an obligation to provide educational services for students enrolled at Daybreak because it resides within our district boundary lines. We will recoup Annual Average Full Time Enrollment (AAFTE) for students when they enroll and subsequently turn this amount over to Daybreak so that they can provide those educational services directly. This Agreement shall be automatically renewed and reviewed for successive one-year periods unless terminated with 30 days written notice.
The cost for this program during the 2022-23 school year is based on a maximum of 58 students enrolled at an AAFTE of $9,718.57 for a total maximum cost of $536,677 less indirects of 7%. Enrollment has averaged about 14 AAFTE over the last three years.
