MWPISD reviews intruder detection audit for Tatom Elementary; district reminded to fix any door deficiencies
Summary
Assistant Superintendent Jeff Jones presented an intruder detection audit for Tatom Elementary at the June 1 meeting, noting that the Texas Education Agency requires annual exterior door safety audits to ensure doors close, latch and lock and are not propped open; any deficiencies must be addressed and documented by the district.
At the Monahans-Wickett-Pyote ISD special meeting on June 1, Assistant Superintendent Jeff Jones presented the district's Intruder Detection Audit for Tatom Elementary. Jones told the board that the Texas Education Agency requires annual exterior door safety audits at each campus as part of enhanced school safety measures adopted after the Robb Elementary School shooting.
Jones explained that those audits are intended to verify that exterior doors close, latch and lock properly and are not propped open; the district must promptly address and document any deficiencies the audit identifies. The transcript records the audit briefing and the TEA requirement, but it does not specify whether the Tatom audit identified any particular deficiencies or the remediation timeline.
No public comment was made on the audit during the meeting. The board elected officers and completed organizational business before adjourning at 6:44 p.m.
