The Plano Police Department has partnered with Frisco Independent School District to provide a school resource officer at Fowler Middle School since 2006. Fowler Middle School is a Frisco Independent School District school within the Plano city limits. An additional Frisco SRO will be added to provide roving coverage for the four FISD elementary schools to bring our total number FISD SROs to two.
School Resource Officers (SRO) interact with students, teachers and administrators on a daily basis. They build relationships and rapport with the students to influence the students in a positive manner. The SRO is the first line of defense in major incidents that occur at the school and handle all police related issues that occur at the school.
The cost for one (1) officer is equally shared by the City of Plano and Frisco Independent School District, and the entire cost of the second officer will be paid by the FISD for the current school year.
It is recommended the contract with Frisco Independent School District be renewed for the 2022-2023 school year.
