9. Payment/Costs:

Cents ($56,467.49) for SRO No. 1; and
Fifty-Six Thousand Six Hundred Thirty-Six Dollars and Two Cents
($56,636.02) for SRO No. 2.
This payment is intended to cover a reasonable amount of the cost the City incurs in
paying wages, providing benefits, and providing transportation for the SRO assigned
to perform SRO duties under this Agreement. The City will invoice the District in
December 2022 and June 2023, with each invoice to reflect half of the total two-
balances combined, as reflected above.
b. Costs: The City agrees to pay all overtime costs, non-school related expenses related
to or resulting from law enforcement related activities, such as criminal investigations
and court appearances, and costs relating to vehicle and insurance.
c. Additional Services: District administrators and school administrators may request
that the City assign one or more law enforcement officers to provide “additional
services” as defined in this Agreement. The City will make reasonable efforts to
accommodate such requests. When the City assigns an officer to provide additional
services, the District will be responsible for paying the officer’s wages for the hours
worked while providing additional services, any resulting overtime costs, a prorated
portion of the officer’s benefits for the hours worked while providing additional
services, and the officer’s transportation costs directly associated with providing
110
additional services. The City will submit an itemized invoice to the District describing
the additional services that were provided, the location where the additional services
were provided, and the costs the City incurred in providing the additional services.
10. District Responsibilities: In addition to making the payments described in this
Agreement, the District will provide office space for the SRO. At a minimum, the office
space will be furnished with a desk, chair, filing space capable of being secured, a
computer, and a landline telephone. The SRO may print materials and make photocopies
at the school where the SRO is assigned if the materials and photocopies relate to SRO
duties.
11. Prohibited Actions: In the absence of exigent circumstances, a law enforcement officer
who is employed by the City may not interview a student on school property about criminal
activity or potential criminal activity unless: (a) the officer is conducting a maltreatment of
minor investigation; (b) the crime has occurred, is alleged to have occurred, may have
occurred, is occurring, or is reasonably expected to occur in the near future on school
property or at a school sponsored event or activity; or (c) the officer has obtained prior
written permission from the building principal and from the student’s parent or guardian
or the student, if the student is eighteen (18) years of age or older. In addition, a law
enforcement officer may not participate in recommending or determining student discipline
or in investigating incidents of student discipline which do not involve potential criminal
activity.
12. Execution of Arrest Warrants: When executing an arrest warrant for a student on school
property, a law enforcement officer must make reasonable efforts to protect other students
and staff members who are present and to avoid undue embarrassment to the student who
is being arrested. This paragraph is not intended to prevent an officer from taking
immediate action to arrest a student who is fleeing or who presents an imminent and
substantial risk of harm to self, others, or property.
13. Access to Records. School officials shall allow the SRO to inspect and copy any public
records maintained by the school to the extent allowed by law. If some information in a
student’s record is needed in an emergency to protect the health or safety of the student or
other individuals, school officials shall disclose to the SRO that information which is
needed to respond to the emergency situation based on the seriousness of the threat to
someone’s health or safety, the need of the information to meet the emergency situation,
and the extent to which time is of the essence. If confidential student record information
is needed by the SRO, but no emergency situation exists, the information may be released
only as allowed by law.
14. Liability and Indemnification: Each party is solely responsible for the act(s) and
omission(s) of its own officers, employees, officials, agents, and representatives. To the
extent permitted by law, each party agrees to indemnify the other party from any and all
damages, liability, judgments, claims, expenses, attorney fees, and costs resulting from any
act or omission of any of its officers, employees, officials, agents, or representatives. Each
111
party’s liability, if any, is limited by applicable Montana law, and nothing in this
Agreement may be deemed to constitute a waiver of those limits.
15. Notices: The District must provide all official notices under this Agreement by electronic
mail or U.S. Mail addressed to the City’s Chief of Police, Stan Langve, at
slangve@laurel.mt.gov or 215 West First Street, Laurel MT 59044. The City must provide
all official notices under this Agreement by electronic mail or U.S. Mail addressed to the

16. No Unlawful Discrimination: The District and the City each agree to provide equal
employment opportunities to all employees and applicants for employment in accordance
with all applicable federal, state, and local laws. No person may be excluded from full
employment rights in, participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subjected
to discrimination in any program, service, or activity based on race, color, religion, age,
sex, disability, marital status, sexual preference, HIV status, public assistance status, creed,
or national origin. In addition, the District and the City each specifically agree not to
discriminate unlawfully against any student in any program, service, activity, or decision
based on race, color, religion, age, sex, disability, marital status, sexual preference, HIV
status, public assistance status, creed, or national origin.
17. Waiver and Enforcement: The failure to insist on compliance with any term, covenant,
or condition contained in this Agreement must not be deemed to be a waiver of that term,
covenant, or condition, nor will any waiver or relinquishment of any right or power
contained in this Agreement at any time be deemed to be a waiver or relinquishment of any
right or power at any other time. Each party is responsible for its own costs, expenses, and
any attorneys’ fees associated with this Agreement and any related matters, including
enforcement of this Agreement.
18. Equal Drafting: In the event that either party asserts that a provision of this Agreement
is ambiguous, this Agreement must be construed to have been drafted equally by the
Parties.
19. Choice of Law, Forum, and Severability: This Agreement is governed by the laws of
the State of Montana. The parties agree that the Montana state and federal courts will have
exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of this Agreement. If a court determines
that any part of this Agreement is unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining portions of the
Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
20. Entire Agreement, Changes, and Effect: This Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement between the District and the City regarding SRO duties and additional services.
This Agreement supersedes any inconsistent statements or promises made by either party.
This Agreement also supersedes and terminates any prior or existing agreements or
112
contracts regarding the same or any similar subject matter. Neither party has relied upon
any statements, promises, agreements, or representations that are not stated in this
Agreement. No changes to this Agreement are valid unless they are in writing and signed.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have entered into this Agreement on the dates
recorded by their signature. By signing below, each party specifically acknowledges that it has
read this Agreement and that it understands and voluntarily agrees to be legally bound by all terms
of the Agreement.
