District reports corrective actions after Texas Education Agency intruder‑detection audit; details reserved for closed session

Comal ISD presented an update on a Texas Education Agency intruder-detection audit during the March 27 board meeting; trustees were given a high-level summary in open session and asked to consider specific questions in closed session.

Mr. De La Rosa (presenter) told the board the TEA initiated intruder-detection audits beginning in June 2022 and that the agency has completed audits across district campuses. He summarized corrective steps from a March 10, 2025 audit: in-person staff training emphasizing that exterior doors must be kept closed, locked and latched; a district plan prioritizing maintenance and timely completion of exterior-door work orders; and planned review of findings by the district safety and security committee. Mr. De La Rosa said TEA guidelines prohibit discussing the specific audit findings and corrective-action details in open session.

Trustees were told that additional questions and specifics would be handled in closed session. No open-session action was taken; trustees moved to closed session for discussion of land purchase and personnel matters as permitted under the Texas Government Code.
