As needed, the School District shall provide and maintain records and reports required by the Police Department for conducting certain experiences of School District Personnel under this Agreement.
The Police Department and the School District agree that the Police Department will allow School District Personnel to participate in the learning experiences under the Program, provided that the Police Department is able to obtain any consent deemed necessary by the Police Department, which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld by School District Personnel.
As a final note, to the extent permitted by current Texas law applicable to independent school districts, the School District agrees to mutually indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Police Department, its directors, officers, employees, representatives, affiliates and agents from any and all liabilities, lawsuits, claims, damages, losses, expenses, court costs, reasonable attorney's fees, and other reasonable costs of defense resulting from or attributable to acts or omissions of the School District, School District Personnel, employees, agents or representatives.
