Board approves TASB Localized Policy Update 123 but asks for edits to school security/personnel policy
Summary
Goose Creek CISD trustees approved TASB Localized Policy Update 123 Nov. 11 but pulled CKE(LOCAL) (security personnel) for revision; the Board directed edits to align with district practices and to address inclusion of contracted and employed police/security officers and firearms language.
The Board considered TASB Localized Policy Manual Update 123 as a standalone agenda item after pulling it from the consent agenda.
In a motion that the minutes record as "THAT THE BOARD APPROVED TO ADD, REVISE, OR DELETE (LOCAL) POLICIES AS RECOMMENDED BY TASB POLICY SERVICE AND ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTION SHEET FOR TASB LOCALIZED POLICY MANUAL UPDATE 123 AS PRESENTED WITH THE EXCEPTION OF CKE (LOCAL); SAFETY PROGRAM/RISK MANAGEMENT: SECURITY PERSONNEL POLICY AS PRESENTED," the Board voted to adopt the TASB recommendations with one exception. The motion passed with all members present voting in favor.
The Board requested CKE(LOCAL) be brought back with edits to align the policy text with actual district practices and to explicitly include both district-employed and contracted police/security officers in any firearms-related language or security-personnel definitions. The minutes list two proposed edits: align CKE(LOCAL) with district practice and include both police and security officers (contracted and employed) in firearms-related recommendations.
Board members indicated they want the policy language revised and returned for future consideration; the minutes do not record the exact amended text or a timeline beyond listing the item on future agendas.
