FISD Safety and Security Committee holds brief special meeting, recesses into closed session on security matters

The Farmersville Independent School District (FISD) Safety and Security Committee held a special meeting on April 27, 2026, at the FISD Administration Portable and called the session to order at 2:30 p.m. The meeting record shows the committee recessed into a closed session to deliberate on security assessments and information-technology and network-security matters under cited state law, returned to open session at 2:48 p.m., and adjourned the meeting the same minute.

The minutes specify the legal authority for the closed session, citing Texas Government Code Section 551.071, Education Code 37.109(d), and Texas Government Code Section 551.089, and note the topics included deliberation about security assessments or deployments related to information-resources technology, network security information, and the deployment or implementation of security personnel or devices. The minutes do not describe any formal votes or outcomes that occurred while the meeting was in closed session.

After returning to open session, the minutes record a motion, moved by Earnie Phelps and seconded by Phil Baker, "that the Committee adjourn at 2:48 p.m." The record states the motion "carried unanimously," and the meeting was adjourned at 2:48 p.m. The minutes entry also records that the April 27, 2026 minutes were later approved on June 29, 2026, with Tony Gray, JD, listed as president and Dale Pickett listed as secretary on the approval line.

The minutes are brief and procedural. They document the committee's use of closed-session authority under specific Texas statutes to consider security-related matters but provide no public detail about the substance of those closed-session deliberations. No further public actions, votes, or directives are recorded in the posted minutes.
