Comal ISD reports TEA intruder-detection audits; specific findings withheld from open session
Summary
The district summarized intruder-detection audits conducted by the Texas Education Agency and described corrective measures including staff training and a safety-improvement plan; the board recessed to closed session for further discussion and said specific audit details are restricted by TEA guidance.
Comal Independent School District officials reported to the board Thursday that the Texas Education Agency completed intruder-detection audits on several campuses in September 2025 and prompted a set of corrective actions.
Campus-level in-person training emphasizing that exterior doors be properly closed, latched and locked was conducted, the districts presentation said. Staff also developed a comprehensive school safety improvement plan that will be reviewed by the district safety and security committee on Oct. 23, 2025.
Superintendent and security staff told trustees that TEA guidelines prohibit discussing certain audit specifics in open session, so the board recessed into closed session to deliberate further on the audit findings and corrective measures. A district staff email with additional detail was sent to trustees earlier in the week, the superintendent said.
After the closed-session discussion, the board reconvened in open session and listed the item on the agenda for continuing closed-session deliberation consistent with the Texas Government Code provisions cited on the meeting notice.
Trustees emphasized the districts commitment to campus safety; staff said corrective actions are in progress and will be monitored by the district safety and security committee.
No formal vote was required in open session on the audit itself; the board moved to closed session under state law to discuss security audit findings and potential deployment of security personnel or devices.
