KY AG: County money may be used for resource officers at public, private schools

Money from a county’s general fund may be used to employ and station school resource officers at both public and private schools in the county, Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman’s Office said in an opinion released Tuesday. The sheriff’s office may also request reimbursement from both public and non-public schools at a percentage of the out-of-pocket costs of employing and stationing a school resource officer at the schools, the opinion written by General Counsel Christopher L. Thacker said. Kentucky courts have repeatedly upheld the use of public funds to benefit students attending non-public schools, so long as the funds serve a public purpose and any benefit to the schools is indirect, the Oct. 12 opinion said. The opinion was written in response to Boone County Attorney Jordan Dallas Turner asking: “Can county funds be used to cover out-of-pocket costs incurred by a sheriff’s office in providing school resource officers to both public and non-public schools? Moreover, can a sheriff’s office request partial reimbursement at the same rate from both the public and non-public schools at which a school resource officer is placed?” The Boone County Sheriff’s Office currently contracts with its local school districts to furnish schools with school resource
