The Blue Ridge ISD Board of Trustees approved a new full-time-equivalent position for a Director of Safety & Security that the district expects will transition into the Chief of Police should the board move forward with creating a Blue Ridge ISD Police Department.

Board member Matt Grier made the motion to approve the new FTE and Lonnie Murphy seconded. The motion, "I move to approve the hiring of a new FTE for the Director of Safety & Security position that will transition into the Chief of Police upon creation of Blue Ridge ISD Police Department," passed by a 7-0 vote. The public transcript does not record a discussion of salary, job description, or timeline for filling the position during this agenda item.
