Allen ISD board approves armed security contract and campus camera upgrades
Summary
The Allen ISD Board approved a $616,528 armed security contract for campuses not covered by SROP and a $376,632 security camera upgrade contract, both passed unanimously at the May 26 regular meeting.
The Allen Independent School District Board of Trustees on May 26 approved a House Bill 3 armed security services agreement and a separate security camera upgrade contract for district campuses.
Assistant Superintendent of Operations Brent Benningfield presented the armed security agreement (RFP 2026-MAR-176). The board voted 6–0 to approve a contract with Jet Security, LLC for a total probable cost of $616,528 for campuses not covered by the School Resource Officer Program. Motion language recorded: “Motion by John Holley. Seconded by Dr. Bill Parker. Motion carried 6 to 0.” The minutes list trustees voting in favor as Montgomery, Parker, Holley, Yost, Campbell and Kinnear.
The board also approved a purchase of security camera upgrades and additions with CMC Network Solutions under TIPS Contract #260202 for $376,632, with the same 6–0 vote. The approvals followed staff presentation of procurement details but the minutes do not include line-item contract documents or the operational timeline for installations.
District officials said the contracts cover campuses not served by SROP and upgrades to existing camera systems; the minutes do not specify expected completion dates or funding line items. The board executed both approvals as part of the regular meeting's business.
