CHISD board adopts resolution endorsing one armed officer per campus
Summary
Trustees adopted a resolution reflecting HB 3 / Sec. 37.0814(a) guidance, confirming that one armed officer per campus during regular school hours is appropriate for Chapel Hill ISD.
The Chapel Hill ISD board adopted a resolution on Oct. 20 confirming that one armed officer per campus during regular school hours is appropriate for district campuses. Ben Boyd, Chief of Police, presented statutory guidance from HB 3 / Sec. 37.0814(a), which requires the board to determine the appropriate number of armed officers for each campus.
Boyd briefed trustees that state guidance recommends at least one armed officer per campus during regular hours; the board approved the resolution by unanimous vote among trustees present. The action formalizes the district’s approach to assigning armed officers consistent with state law; the minutes do not specify staffing changes or funding sources for additional officers.
