Crowley ISD says corrective actions underway after Texas School Safety Center intruder-detection audit

Crowley ISD administration told the board during open session that the Texas School Safety Center recently conducted an intruder-detection audit at one or more district campuses and that a corrective action plan has been put in place.

Mr. Kershner read a prepared statement saying the state gives districts 45 days from official notification to enact corrective actions. “While we're not releasing any sensitive details to the public regarding the audit in open session,” he said, “please know that the corrective action plan was put into place due to the findings.” He tied the audit to Governor Abbott’s school safety directives and cited example improvements such as ensuring exterior doors are locked.

Board members were given the statement and an opportunity to ask questions; no vote or formal action was taken in open session on the item. District staff said specifics of the audit are being handled through the corrective-action process rather than discussed in public session.

What’s next Staff indicated the corrective-action plan is underway and that state timelines and reporting requirements will guide next steps; no further detail on the specific findings or timeline was released in open session.
