Aubrey's police department will supply one school resource officer to Denton ISD this school year, at Providence Elementary School, under an amended agreement on the district's board agenda for Tuesday.

The amendment to the interlocal agreement between the city and the district removes an officer post at Sandbrock Ranch Elementary School and assigns the city's officer only to Providence, according to the district's agenda summary and the amendment itself.

Denton ISD would pay the city $69,646.33 for the 2026-27 school year. A cost sheet attached to the amendment breaks that down as $66,329.84 in salary and benefits plus a 5% increase over last year's rate, $3,316.49. The district pays in four quarterly installments of about $17,412, due in July and October of 2026 and in January and April of 2027.

The agreement is listed as a consent item, meaning trustees are expected to approve it with other routine business in a single vote unless a board member pulls it for discussion. The board meets at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 27.

The district's summary describes the arrangement as a service Aubrey provides to help schools inside its jurisdiction with resource officers. Denton ISD has similar agreements with the city of Denton, the Denton County Sheriff's Office, the town of Little Elm and the city of Oak Point to station officers at its campuses in their areas, the summary says.

The documents do not say why the Sandbrock Ranch post was removed or who, if anyone, will provide an officer at that school. The amendment carries signature lines for Aubrey Mayor Chris Rich and Denton ISD board President Barbara Burns.
