Union Grove ISD board approves two SROs — one for each campus
Summary
The Union Grove ISD Board voted unanimously Oct. 6 to place one school resource officer on each campus, approving two SROs districtwide on the recommendation of Interim Superintendent Brian Gray. Funding sources for the officers were not specified in the minutes.
Union Grove Independent School District trustees voted unanimously Oct. 6 to assign one school resource officer to each campus — two SROs in total — following a recommendation from Interim Superintendent Brian Gray.
Board members recorded the motion and vote during the safety and security portion of the meeting. The minutes state the recommendation came from Gray and that trustees approved the change by motion; no dissent or abstentions were recorded.
The board's action came amid a broader safety update that included an Emergency Operations Plan review and a District Vulnerability Assessment. The minutes note a Safety & Security Committee meeting scheduled for Oct. 8, but they do not specify how the SRO positions will be funded or whether existing budget lines will cover salaries, benefits or equipment. The minutes also do not record any discussion of a timeline for posting or hiring the officers.
Trustees did approve the preliminary Emergency Operations Plan for 2025–2026 and the preliminary District Vulnerability Assessment at the same session, steps the board identified as part of ongoing campus safety work. Next administrative steps were not listed in the minutes.
