Laredo Independent School District (LISD) made a significant decision during its special called meeting on September 19, 2025, by approving the hiring of a new Director of Safety Initiatives. The motion, which was amended to focus solely on this position, passed with a majority vote, despite one dissenting opinion. This role is expected to enhance safety protocols within the district, reflecting LISD's commitment to prioritizing student and staff safety.

In addition to the key hiring decision, the meeting included various communications regarding upcoming events and initiatives. Notably, LISD will host a bowling tournament on September 20, with proceeds benefiting the "Coat Them with Love" project. The district will also begin administering flu vaccines on September 23, and a safety and security meeting is scheduled for the same day, followed by a workshop on special education.

Further, LISD plans to conduct a blood drive on September 26 and will honor community organizers during a pregame ceremony at Shirley Field on the same day. The board also confirmed a special meeting for September 30 to discuss additional matters.

The meeting concluded with a commendation for the attendance staff, acknowledging their vital role in the district's operations. As LISD moves forward with these initiatives, the focus remains on enhancing the educational environment and community engagement.
