The City of Clermont and the School Board of Lake County are entering into an agreement for a School Resource Officer Program for the 2026-2027 school year. The City of Clermont will provide four sworn police officers to serve as School Resource Officers (SROs). These officers will be assigned to Cypress Ridge Elementary, Lost Lake Elementary, Windy Hill Middle, and Aurelia M. Cole Academy. The program is currently under review and planned for the upcoming school year. This agreement involves the provision of law enforcement services within school settings, including interaction with students during regular class schedules and extracurricular activities to enhance security. While this is a service agreement, it signifies ongoing operational needs for law enforcement personnel and related administrative support. Local businesses providing security services, administrative support, or potentially educational support services related to school safety programs could find opportunities by engaging with the involved agencies early in the planning process.
