Board adopts resolution to maintain at least one commissioned peace officer on each campus
Summary
Chief Boyd told trustees that Texas Education Code requires districts to determine minimum campus security levels; the board passed a resolution stating at least one commissioned peace officer will be assigned to each campus, recorded as a unanimous vote.
Chief Boyd of the police department presented a resolution for the board to adopt stating that each campus should have a minimum of one commissioned security officer, in keeping with state requirements. He said the district had been operating under a good-cause exemption but now has a commissioned peace officer assigned to every campus and recommended the board memorialize the minimum staffing in the district’s resolution bank.
Board members asked whether the resolution changes policy; staff clarified it is an administrative resolution for state compliance, not a new board policy. The motion to adopt the resolution was moved, seconded and recorded as unanimous.
