Summary
A Texas Education Agency intrusion-detection audit found mechanical deficiencies on portable building doors at Alamo Heights High School after construction opened a fence entry point; district staff said the gap has been sealed, warranty repairs are scheduled, and a corrective-action plan will be submitted to TEA.
Chief Eddie Ray told the Alamo Heights Board of Trustees on Feb. 18 that recent Texas Education Agency (TEA) intrusion-detection audits found no issues at the junior school but identified mechanical deficiencies for portable-building doors at the high school following construction that opened an entry point in the campus fence.
"When a visit finds any issues, the superintendent receives a report with findings," Chief Ray said. He said Alamo Heights Junior School's audit on Jan. 9 produced no findings, while the high school audit on Feb. 3 found that construction opened an entry in the secured fence line, exposing portable doors as penetrable. The construction gap has been closed and the district's maintenance team is coordinating with the portables contractor to repair or replace door mechanisms under warranty; the contractor is expected to perform work this week.
Chief Ray said the district has completed a corrective-action plan and is prepared to submit the TEA paperwork following the meeting. The presentation emphasized standard safety layers, including single points of access, door locking mechanisms, surveillance cameras and school resource officers, and noted the district will stand by for questions in executive session.
No board action was required; trustees thanked chief Ray for the update and had no substantive questions on the record.
