Board to consider security resolution and multi-jurisdictional hazard plan approval
Summary
Administrators recommended a board resolution to meet TEA safety requirements on armed officers and presented a multi-jurisdictional hazard mitigation plan needed for FEMA grant eligibility; both items were recommended for board approval.
District staff recommended the board approve two safety-related actions: a good-cause exemption/resolution regarding armed officer staffing and adoption of a multi-jurisdictional hazard mitigation plan required for FEMA grant eligibility.
Staff explained TEA's district vulnerability audit guidance calls for at least one armed officer per campus but allows a board to approve a good-cause exemption based on staffing or building configuration. The administration said it drafted resolutions for the board's consideration and recommended approval so the district remains in compliance.
Separately, administrators described participating in a county-level hazard mitigation planning process and said local entities must adopt the plan so the county can apply for federal mitigation grants; the board was asked to approve the recommended resolution enabling the next steps.
