The Travis County Sheriff’s Office has been working alongside the school district and plans to offer support throughout the transition and implementation period.
Startup costs will total $319,100, with recurring annual costs of about $654,000. This school year, the district will pay about $953,280 for TCSO officers to work overtime, summer school and athletic games and for seven officers to staff the secondary schools on a full-time basis.
