Castleberry ISD introduces new school police officer at Casper Elementary
Summary
The board heard an introduction of Officer John Fowler, who the district presented as a new school police officer assigned to Casper Elementary; the presentation summarized his prior experience and training.
Castleberry Independent School District trustees on Oct. 11 were introduced to Officer John Fowler, the district’s newly assigned school police officer at Casper Elementary.
A presenter told the board Fowler joins Castleberry ISD from Sampson Park Police Department and began his public‑service career as a corrections officer. “Officer Fowler believes in creating a safe, welcoming environment where students can thrive,” the presenter said.
Why it matters: the assignment names a dedicated law‑enforcement presence at a district elementary campus and includes background on the officer’s training and experience that trustees reviewed informally.
The presenter said Fowler graduated from the police academy in 2020 and has 10 years in public service, including time as a patrol officer and as a field training officer mentoring recruits. The presenter said Fowler had worked closely with Joy James Academy of Leadership and its assigned officer in prior roles. The biography noted Fowler is married with four daughters and that he expressed gratitude for the opportunity to serve the Castleberry ISD community.
Superintendent Smith Faulkner and President Tolliver were present when the introduction was made. Fowler spoke briefly to thank the board. No board action, vote or personnel appointment was taken on the record during the introduction; the item was presented for informational purposes.
