and police follow-up; classroom presentations related to youth and the law; attendance at parent meetings and
student events; and participate on the School Attendance Review Board (SARB) and School Safety Committees when

Both the Sweetwater Union High School District and the Chula Vista Elementary School District have agreed to jointly
pay the full cost of one Police Agent and seven Police Officers who are assigned to the School Resource Officer
program. The Chula Vista Police Department will fund the Police Sergeant who supervises the program. Although the
2018-2019 budgeted cost for School Resource Officers assigned to the Sweetwater Union High School District is
$678,574, the total cost to the Sweetwater Union High School District for participation in the School Resource Officer
program will remain $500,000. The resource officers will be assigned to district schools located within the City of
Chula Vista. In addition, police security services were needed for Rainbow Graduation on December 19, 2018, at
