School resource deputies MOU with Evansville school corporation
Summary
After 15 years of a handshake deal at the same $96,000 a year, the county and EVSC finally signed a formal contract putting three sheriff's deputies in schools outside city limits for four school years. It's a big safety win for students and a better framework for deputies.

Impact analysis
The contract replaces a flat $96,000/year arrangement, so expect the cost to schools' safety coverage to be updated at market rates.
Students and families at EVSC schools outside city limits get dedicated, formally contracted school resource deputies.
