Lone Oak ISD board approves written authorization for certain persons to carry firearms on school property
Summary
After executive session, the Lone Oak ISD Board approved issuing written authorization to certain person(s) to possess firearms on campus under Board Policy CKE(LOCAL) and cited Texas Government Code provisions. The motion passed 7–0; the minutes do not name the authorized individuals.
Following a closed executive session, the Lone Oak ISD Board voted to issue written authorization to certain person(s) to possess a firearm on school premises under Board Policy CKE(LOCAL). The deliberation was conducted in executive session under Texas Government Code sections noted in the minutes, and the motion was approved in open session.
The motion was made by Board Member Clint Patterson and seconded by Board Member Drew McMuntre; the minutes record a unanimous 7–0 vote. The minutes state the motion approved written authorization "as presented in closed session," but do not identify the individuals who will receive the authorization or provide the written authorizations’ text in the public minutes.
The agenda cites Board Policy CKE(LOCAL) and Tex. Govt. Code sections 551.074, 551.076, and 551.089 as the basis for holding the discussion in executive session and then taking action. The minutes record the board entering executive session at 6:43 PM and returning to open session at 7:57 PM. Because the names of authorized persons were discussed in closed session and omitted from the open minutes, the public record here documents action taken but not the specific recipients of the authorizations.
