Agenda Item: Q.2. Memorandum of Understanding Between the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified
School District and the City of Rancho Palos Verdes, the City of Rolling Hills
Estates, the City of Palos Verdes Estates, and the City of Rolling Hills for School
Security Officers
Rationale: Background Information
The deployment of security personnel has proven to be an effective method to enhance
the safety and security of a school campus. School Resource Officers (SROs) have been
utilized by school districts, particularly at the high school level, to enhance school
security on campuses. There are currently over 20,000 SROs nationwide, and in the
South Bay alone nearly every high school campus has an SRO. To fulfill its mission, at
the August 14, 2019 Board of Education meeting the Board approved a one year contract
with Allied Universal Security Services to provide the services of two full-time School
Resource Officers who will provide education, training, and intervention services at the
school campuses on the Palos Verdes Peninsula. The District has requested financial
contributions from Rancho Palos Verdes, Rolling Hills Estates, Palos Verdes Estates, and
Rolling Hills (individually or collectively, "City" or "Cities") to hire such security
officers.
Current Consideration
The Cities, through their representative Councils, have each approved the attached
Memorandum of Understanding. The Cities will contribute one-half of the total cost of
both officers, not to exceed a total contribution of $150,000.00 from the Cities, with the
District paying the other one-half of total costs. Approval of the attached Memorandum
of Understanding: with Cities for sharing the total cost of the School Resource Officers is
requested.
Quick Summary/ That the Board approve the Memorandum of Understanding between the Palos Verdes
Abstract: Peninsula Unified School District and the City Of Rancho Palos Verdes, the City Of
Rolling Hills Estates, the City Of Palos Verdes Estates, and the City Of Rolling Hills for
School Security Officers, as presented.
