(KMZA)--Nemaha Central USD 115 plans to add a school resource officer.
The Seneca City Council Monday evening approving having former Kansas Highway Patrol trooper Todd Helm fill the position, who was recently hired by the Seneca Police Department.
Mayor Joe Mitchell says the school district will pay all of his expenses during the school year and he will remain as a city employee.
The Council is expected to approve an agreement with the school district at their next meeting, July 18th.
The USD 115 Board of Education approved the agreement during a special meeting last week.
Under the agreement, Superintendent Darrel Kohlman says the police department will provide an officer to the school district for 1,000 hours during the school year.
Kohlman says the officer will split his time between the district’s two schools.
He estimated first year costs would be $40,000 or less.
