The Burleson Independent School District Board of Trustees voted unanimously Oct. 18 to hire a School Safety Officer for the Academy at Nola Dunn and to authorize the officer to carry a weapon on school property under board policy CKC and/or CKE.
Chief Operating Officer Steve Logan presented a candidate for the open School Safety Officer position during the special session.

I further recommend that this individual be authorized to carry a weapon on school property pursuant to board policy CKC and/or CKE in accordance with all applicable laws."
