Roscoe Collegiate ISD board approves Good Cause Exception to HB3 armed-officer rule
Summary
On Oct. 20 the Roscoe Collegiate ISD Board of Trustees adopted a resolution declaring a Good Cause Exception to HB3's armed security officer requirement; the motion passed 5-0 with two trustees absent.
The Roscoe Collegiate ISD Board of Trustees unanimously approved a resolution declaring a Good Cause Exception to HB3's armed security officer requirement at its Oct. 20 meeting. Trustee Jason Freeman moved to approve the resolution and Trustee Jacob Tiemann seconded; the motion carried Yea: 5, Nay: 0, Absent: 2.
"Move to approve the Resolution for a Good Cause Exception for HB3's Armed Security Officer Requirement," the motion states. The board recorded votes by name: Jerad Alford, James Arnwine, Jason Freeman, Eloy Herrera and Jacob Tiemann voted yea; Trustees Drew Moses and Marcial Saenz were absent. The board did not specify additional conditions or an implementation timeline in the motion text recorded in the minutes.
The action relieves the district, as framed by the resolution, from HB3's specific armed-officer staffing requirement under the identified "Good Cause Exception." The transcript records the formal adoption and vote but does not include further detail about operational changes, funding implications, or whether the district will use other security measures in place of an armed officer. Any implementation steps or administrative directives would need to be documented in subsequent board materials or staff reports.
