In August 2018, the Town Council approved a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Miami-Dade County School Board for the provision of School Based Law Enforcement Officers (SBLEO) by the Town for the 2018-19 school year at Bob Graham Educational Center and Miami Lakes K-8 Center. Under the MOU with the School Board, the Town provides a maximum of 5.5 hours of SBLEO support per school day for the school year in exchange for an annual contribution from the School Board of $35,000. As part of that approval, the Council requested that the same MOU with the same terms be offered to any of the Town's private schools. Our Lady of the Lakes Catholic School approached the Town shortly thereafter and agreed to the same MOU for the provision of SBLEOs at the school.

This serves as a retroactive approval of this MOU for a one-year term for the 2018-19 school year. It is not anticipated that the Town will provide these services for the upcoming 2019-20 school year as the provision of these services at the school are contingent on the Miami Dade School Board providing their own officers at the Bob Graham Educational Center and Miami Lakes K-8 Center. The School Board has advised the Town that they intend on placing their own officers at these school on a permanent basis for the upcoming school year. The estimated financial impact to the Town is estimated to be $22,484.00.
