PSJA summarizes TEA intruder‑detection audits; campus‑level results reserved for closed session
Summary
District officials described the Texas Education Agency intruder‑detection audits (phases: access, exterior doors, classroom doors, door logs), recommended in‑person corrective training for failed phases and noted campus‑specific results would be discussed in executive session to avoid compromising security.
PSJA ISD staff briefed the board on intruder‑detection audits conducted by the Texas Education Agency and described the four audit phases used to test campus access and readiness.
The audit framework, as presented by the student‑services director, includes: Phase 1 — intruder access checks (can an unauthorized individual enter campus), Phase 2 — exterior door audits, Phase 3 — classroom door (interior) audits while instruction is occurring, and Phase 4 — weekly documented door‑log inspections kept for three years. Passing each phase typically results in a green status; failure requires in‑person corrective trainings and reinspection.
The presenter said the district is conducting monthly learning walks and that many campuses are meeting standards; however, campus‑level pass/fail results were not disclosed publicly at the meeting because doing so could compromise security protocols. The presenter said trustees who want campus‑specific results could receive them in executive session or via individual briefings.
Trustees asked about timing for additional review and whether failing items are remedied quickly; staff replied that corrective actions include in‑person trainings on access, exterior doors and classroom door procedures, and that the district safety committee reviews results and coordinates follow‑up.
