Overview: During the Silver Lake Regional School Committee meeting, the conversation centered around the funding and implementation of a middle school resource officer (SRO) position, which raised budgetary concerns. The town chief had requested funding for the SRO for the upcoming school year, a cost not included in the town’s budget. The town administrator communicated that additional expenses for benefits would amount to $18,667, leading to questions about whether this would necessitate a complete budget re-vote. Concerns were voiced about the financial implications of hiring a new officer instead of utilizing existing police staff, particularly as the SRO would only be available part-time, from November through June. One committee member expressed discomfort with the situation, noting the committee was being asked to adjust their budget after finalizing financial plans. The town had previously suggested covering benefits, yet the current request implied the school would bear the full salary cost for the officer’s part-time presence. Ultimately, the committee decided to table the vote on additional funding until further financial details could be presented.
