Board approves secure gun lockers for SROs at each Cannon County school
Summary
Cannon County Board of Education voted to approve purchase of secure gun lockers for School Resource Officers at each district school following a presentation; the motion passed by recorded aye votes.
The Cannon County Board of Education on Aug. 14 approved purchasing secure gun lockers for School Resource Officers (SROs) at every district school.
The item was presented to the board by Mister West at a workshop earlier in the week; on Thursday evening board member Derek Mullins moved to approve the purchase and Miss Trammell seconded. The board completed a roll call in which Mister McMackins, Mister Mullins and Miss Trammell recorded “aye,” and the motion carried.
Why it matters: The approved purchase provides SROs with locked storage for firearms on campus, a change affecting SRO operations in every district school.
Details: The motion authorized the district to buy secure gun lockers for each SRO assigned to Cannon County schools. The transcript records the motion and confirms a roll-call approval, but it does not specify purchase vendor, per-unit cost, total contract price, or funding source. Those procurement details were not provided during the meeting.
Implementation: The board’s motion instructs staff to proceed with the purchase; further implementation steps — including vendor selection, pricing and funding source — were not stated and will require follow-up by central office before lockers are installed.
Ending: The board approved the purchase by roll call; central office will need to provide contract and budget details at a later meeting or via administrative channels.
