SHAC urges Troup ISD to consider adding another campus police officer
Summary
In open forum, Jade Flores brought a Student Health Advisory Council recommendation that the district consider adding a police officer to help cover all three campuses; board staff said they are exploring the possibility and noted additional safety personnel would affect the budget.
During the Open Forum portion of the June 9 special meeting, Jade Flores presented a recommendation from the Student Health Advisory Council asking trustees to "consider adding another police officer to assist in covering all three campuses." Flores placed the request in the context of the budget process and asked the board to weigh the safety benefits against costs.
District staff later said the budget includes contingency planning for potential additions to school safety personnel but did not adopt a specific hiring decision during the workshop. The board did not take formal action on the SHAC recommendation; staff listed the request as something the district is "looking into" as they refine revenue and expense estimates.
