District staff told trustees that Clear Creek Independent School District has completed an internal review of Texas Education Agency (TEA) school safety vulnerability criteria and is developing a centralized safety vulnerability prevention framework intended to consolidate reporting and access‑control systems.
“Texas Education Agency issued some vulnerability district vulnerability assessment criteria and established a 4 year cycle that every school district in the state of Texas will undergo an assessment,” Mister Miller said, summarizing the review. He said the district identified areas that require documented policies and procedures and that those findings will be addressed by May 2025.
The nut graf: staff described two parallel efforts — completing written policy and procedure documentation to meet TEA criteria and an “exploration team” of technology and operations staff that will recommend capabilities and the requirements for a centralized reporting and prevention system at the end of the school year.
Mister Miller said the exploration team includes technology staff and emergency managers and will recommend how to repurpose existing software systems for a unified reporting tool that routes safety concerns to the appropriate department. Trustees asked whether the framework includes visitor and student badging; staff said access control and badging are part of the framework and will be integrated but that implementation remains a later step.
On student behavior supports, staff said the district’s behavior support center is fully staffed, has a capacity of 16 students (two classrooms of eight each), currently houses four students and has three more in the queue. The district reported an average length of stay of about three and a half months for students placed in the center.
Ending: staff said the framework recommendations will be delivered at the end of the school year and that implementation planning will follow; trustees asked for details on student badging and the integration with access control as the framework is finalized.
