TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The city of Topeka and the school district have agreed on the number of city police officers that will work in the district’s schools.

The city and district announced Thursday that 10 city police will work in the schools for the rest of this school year, then the number will drop to seven next year.

The city had a contract to provide four officers but had assigned 11 to the district. Chief James Brown said earlier this week he wanted to take some officers out of the schools and put them back on the streets.

The new agreement calls for eliminating the truancy officer position this year.

School officials said they will study ways to expand the district’s 12-person security force to provide security at its middle and high schools.
