New School Police Department Proposed With No Public Cost Estimate

📅 August 27, 2026

The school board is considering hiring a Police Chief, the first step in creating a new, in-house school district police department. This represents a significant and permanent expansion of the district’s size and budget, creating long-term taxpayer liabilities for salaries, benefits, vehicles, equipment, and insurance. The agenda provides no financial analysis or projected budget for this major undertaking, leaving taxpayers in the dark about the total cost.

Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Fruitvale ISD administration office before the meeting. Ask for the projected startup and annual costs for the proposed police department before the board votes on Item 3.a. Taxpayers deserve to see a full budget before a new government agency is created.

💰 Impact: Undisclosed long-term cost of a new police force.
