Moody ISD board adopts good-cause exemption to HB 3, approves Guardian program as alternative
Summary
Trustees unanimously approved a good-cause exemption to the armed security requirements of HB 3, citing funding and personnel shortages, and established the district's Guardian program as the approved alternative standard.
Trustee Newman moved, seconded by Trustee Goodwin, to adopt a good-cause exemption to the armed security requirements of HB 3 based on a lack of available funding and qualified personnel, and to establish the district's Guardian program as an approved alternative standard. The minutes record the motion passed unanimously with Trustees Alton, Flynn, Fugitt, Goodwin and Newman voting in favor.
The minutes record the board's rationale as lack of funding and qualified personnel; they do not include supporting financial analysis, policy text of the exemption, or operational details of the Guardian program (training, oversight, or scope). The exemption and program approval were taken as part of the consent action items rather than as a separate open-session discussion.
