Forney ISD says TEA completed intruder-detection audits; district will not release campus findings
Summary
Chief Jason Saunders briefed the board on TEA intruder-detection audits conducted at district campuses and said specific audit details will be withheld from the public to avoid compromising security; specifics were discussed with the board in executive session.
Forney ISD Police Chief Jason Saunders told the board that the Texas Education Agency conducted intruder-detection audits at district campuses under directives issued after the Uvalde tragedy, and that the district will not release campus-specific findings publicly because doing so could compromise security.
Saunders said the audits examine whether campuses are accessible to unauthorized individuals and test measures such as exterior-door locking. He said the audits are part of broader safety work and are coordinated with the district safety and security committee. "It is in best interest for the students that we do not share this information with the broader public as it could lead to compromising important campus security information," Saunders told the board.
Saunders added that specific audit details were discussed in executive session with the board and with the district safety committee. The chief said district staff will continue to train personnel and secure exterior doors as part of ongoing safety improvements.
No detailed vulnerabilities or campus-level findings were disclosed during the open meeting.
