Bryan City Council Again Pays For Crossing Guards Outside Bryan ISD Schools And One-Fourth Of The Cost Of School Resource Officers

The Bryan city council unanimously agrees to continue paying for personnel that council members believe is the responsibility of the Bryan ISD school district. During the council’s August regular meeting, there were unanimous votes to pay $198,881 dollars for school crossing guards and one-fourth of the cost of school resource officers, which is $372,228. Bryan ISD pays the city $1,026,346 for school resource officers at middle schools, high schools, M.C. Harris alternative school, and the district’s disciplinary alternative education campus. Deputy city manager Hugh Walker said negotiations continues with Bryan ISD administrators for the school district to pay more of the cost. Walker told councilmembers that an obstacle is state lawmakers not increasing base funding for public school districts since 2019. Mayor Bobby Gutierrez and councilman James Edge said the expense is paid by Bryan taxpayers, whether it comes from the city and/or the school district. When Bryan ISD board members approved the school resource officer agreement July 15th, there were no comments from board members about that or the city paying for crossing guards.
