Board approves revisions to security policy CKE, clarifying reporting and use‑of‑force language
Summary
Trustees approved local policy CKE revisions clarifying armed security officers will report to the director of safety and security (not the superintendent), removing language that described armed staff as peace officers, shifting enforcement responsibility to campus administrators, and adding limited use‑of‑force language for imminent threat situations.
A district presenter reviewed proposed revisions to board policy CKE (local) concerning security personnel. The changes remove the policy item that gave security officers the authority and duty to enforce district policies (placing that enforcement responsibility with campus administrators), clarify that armed security staff will report to the director of safety and security rather than the superintendent, remove a required weekly exterior door audit from security staff duties, and add a limited use‑of‑force provision allowing armed security to respond in imminent‑threat situations.
The presenter also noted that language referring to armed staff as peace officers was removed because not all armed security personnel are peace officers. Administration recommended approving the revisions and trustees moved, seconded and approved the policy changes in open session.
