The Boerne ISD Board of Trustees voted June 16 to approve a Master Security Services Agreement with Campus Guardian Angel that will let the district host a proof‑of‑concept for silent panic alarms and prepositioned drones connected to a remote tactical operations center.
Safety staff described the arrangement as an exchange of services in which the district provides facilities for testing and emergency‑response training while Campus Guardian Angel provides equipment, training and an evaluation period at no cost. District safety staff said Boerne is one of two or three Texas partners selected for early evaluation of the system.
Why it matters: The proposal includes remotely operated drones and silent panic‑alarm technology that would be evaluated for feasibility in the district’s schools. Trustees and staff emphasized the work is a proof of concept and training relationship; they also said the district received no up‑front cost and that legal counsel reviewed contract terms before execution.
Board action and context: The motion to approve the master agreement passed in open session. Safety staff, who briefed trustees in closed session and again in open session, described the district’s active role hosting statewide trainings and noted Boerne’s facilities are already used regularly by regional law‑enforcement and school‑safety partners.
What happens next: The district will proceed with the pilot and training schedule, coordinate with law enforcement partners, and bring results and any recommended changes back to the board for further consideration. Trustees asked staff to clarify implementation details and legal protections during the pilot.
