LCSD1 Board of Trustees Work Session - September 14, 2026

The Laramie County School District 1 Board of Trustees held a work session on September 14, 2026, focused on school safety and the role of School Resource Officers (SROs). The meeting included introductions of SROs assigned to various schools and a detailed discussion on their responsibilities, challenges, and collaboration with school staff. Key procurement-related topics included requests for improved security infrastructure such as upgraded security cameras and better video access for SROs across campuses to enhance emergency response capabilities. The officers highlighted difficulties in obtaining timely video evidence due to current district policies requiring search warrants, which hampers law enforcement efforts. Additionally, there was discussion about funding for safety training and designated time for staff safety talks, as well as potential legislative support for SRO funding. The board and officers emphasized the need for ongoing communication, improved security technology investments, and policy adjustments to better support school safety and emergency preparedness.
