Board approves MLG canine services for secondary campus checks and activity support
Summary
Trustees authorized a consulting agreement with MLG Services to provide canine detection visits (two random secondary-campus visits per month and on-request searches for off-site trips), with a per-check cost in the contract.
The Mercedes ISD Board of Trustees approved a consulting agreement with MLG Services to provide canine detection services for district campuses, primarily focused on secondary schools. District staff explained the contract includes scheduled random checks—two visits per month at secondary campuses—and on-demand searches for school-sponsored off-site trips. Staff said the per-check fee appears on the vendor quote as $125. The district characterized the canine visits as an added layer of security and said they would supplement existing security services. Trustees approved the agreement on the consent agenda. District representatives said the arrangement will be used for secondary campuses and for specific events or trips where organizers request canine inspection.
