Paradise ISD adopts resolution claiming good‑cause exemption under HB 121
Summary
By unanimous vote the board adopted a resolution certifying an alternative safety plan and claiming a two‑year 'good cause' exemption to TEA officer deployment requirements under HB 121.
The Paradise ISD Board of Trustees adopted a resolution claiming a 'good cause exception' under House Bill 121, which allows districts to opt out of Texas Education Agency enforcement of armed-security officer deployment if the district certifies an alternative safety plan. Superintendent Robyn Gibson explained the resolution must be passed during a public board meeting and reported the certification is valid for two years unless revoked.
Trent Murphy moved to adopt the resolution and Landon Smith seconded; the motion carried 6–0. The board's action instructs administration to submit the opt‑out to TEA and maintain the alternative safety plan required by statute.
