District staff told the Canyon ISD board on Sept. 8 that safety drills and training are underway, that recruitment of campus liaison officers remains in progress and that the district will conduct a full safety audit as part of a three‑year cycle.

Robin, the district staff member who presented the safety update, said the “safety week” program focuses on teaching students and staff what to do during drills and that official drills have already begun. Robin told trustees the district performs weekly door checks and aims to have all liaison officers in place by the end of the current semester.

Robin also said a full safety audit is scheduled for the year under the district’s three‑year cycle and that the audit work will extend through this school year and into summer to meet the district’s deadline. Trustees asked for clarification on liaison‑officer staffing and thanked staff for the district’s safety preparations at the start of the school year.

Why it matters: Trustees were told the district takes a layered approach—training, weekly checks and a formal audit—to maintain safety preparedness across campuses. The timeline for hiring liaison officers could affect campus security coverage for the remainder of the semester.

Next steps: District staff will continue recruitment for liaison officers and proceed with the safety audit; trustees received the update and had no formal vote on the item.
