Marco Island Schools Allocated $40K For Resource Officer

Funding from the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Act allocates just over $40,000 towards the cost of school resource officers at Marco Island schools this year. Marco Island Police Chief Al Schettino explained to the Marco Island City Council about a resolution that includes a memorandum of understanding with Collier County Public Schools.

The $40,000 comes from a state bill that came about after Parkland. In all, $97.5 million was allocated towards school resource officer funding in the state. The funds were allocated based on granting $35 per student to schools. Marco Island’s three schools includes 1,151 students. That means that Marco Island schools will be granted $40,450.10. That amount would not be enough to fully cover even one school resource officer’s salary. Still, the police chief said that even before funding was allocated, the city had already newly hired three school resource officers allowing one officer in each school all day.
