Board discusses districtwide weapons-detection systems; administration to review policy language
Summary
Trustees discussed buying weapons-detection systems for elementary, secondary and stadium sites and the need for staffing and clear policy; administration said the process is covered on the police department site and will bring policy language to cabinet for review.
Trustees reviewed a proposal to purchase weapons-detection systems across the district and at Goodloe Stadium. Administration said the systems will be standardized across campuses and that school resource officers (SROs) and local security staff will monitor open-gate systems, particularly at elementary campuses where office staffing is limited.
Board members asked whether the district has a standalone policy; administration said a paragraph in FNF local covers searches and that it will review fuller policies used by neighboring districts (Mansfield, Corsicana) and bring a recommendation to cabinet. A trustee asked that the process be posted prominently for event attendees.
