“Plans to add a second resource officer to Duanesburg schools are on track after county lawmakers on Monday advanced an agreement between the district and the Schenectady County Sheriff’s Office.
The county’s Committee on Public Safety and Firefighting approved an updated memorandum of understanding between both parties that will see Duanesburg pay just over $60,500 for the additional school resource officer, who will be tasked with monitoring the district’s elementary and middle school. The district’s expense accounts for 70% of the officer’s total cost of $86,541, according to the agreement.
Duanesburg schools have had a single school resource officer at the high school since 2019 under the same agreement with the sheriff’s office. The updated contract adds a second officer to the district and is expected to be approved by the county legislature next week.”
