Forney ISD says intruder-audit details will remain confidential to protect campus safety
Summary
Chief Jason Saunders briefed the board on intruder-detection audits conducted by TEA under statewide safety directives, saying the district will not release detailed findings publicly because doing so could compromise campus security.
Chief Jason Saunders told trustees that intruder-audit work conducted at district campuses by the Texas Education Agency is intended to identify vulnerabilities and improve campus safety. Saunders summarized the purpose of the audits — testing whether campus spaces are accessible to unauthorized individuals — and said the process supports training and door-security improvements.
Saunders acknowledged parents and community members will be interested in audit details but said it is in students’ best interests to withhold specific findings from broad public release because publishing detailed results could create security risks. The chief said specific audit results were discussed with the district’s safety and security committee in executive session.
The board received the report; no specific facilities vulnerabilities were described in open session and administration noted they will continue to work with campuses and the TEA to improve safety practices.
