Marion ISD trustees discuss SROs and district police; take no action
Summary
Trustees explored options to enhance campus security, weighing a school resource officer program against creating a district police department. The discussion produced no vote or directive and remains under consideration.
Board members discussed multiple options to enhance district safety, including contracting a school resource officer (SRO) program or establishing a Marion ISD district police department. The minutes record discussion of pros and cons, but no motion was made and no action was taken.
Board members agreed to continue studying the options; the minutes do not record a formal directive to staff, a funding commitment, or a timeline for a decision. The item remains a topic for future consideration as the board evaluates operational and budgetary implications.
