Fort Sam Houston ISD board adopts Good Cause Exemption for armed security officer requirement
Summary
The board unanimously adopted a resolution allowing a Good Cause Exemption because the district's School Resource Officers from the 502nd Security Forces Squadron are not commissioned as Texas peace officers, though they meet U.S. Air Force training standards.
Vice President COL Rebecca Zinnante and Secretary COL(R) Aaron J. Braxton II moved and seconded a resolution adopting a Good Cause Exemption for the armed security officer requirement, and the board approved it unanimously.
The superintendent explained that Fort Sam Houston ISD has a memorandum of understanding with the 502nd Security Forces Squadron to provide a School Resource Officer at each campus. The district noted these officers meet U.S. Air Force training requirements but are not commissioned peace officers in the State of Texas, which triggers the legislative requirement that a district seeking this staffing model adopt a Good Cause Exemption under rules passed by the 88th Legislature.
Board members recorded a unanimous vote in favor of the resolution. Secretary Braxton made the motion and Vice President Zinnante seconded; the minutes list the vote as Ayes: Nicholas, Zinnante, Braxton, and White, Nays: None.
The action places the district on record as meeting the statutory requirement for an exemption and cites the existing MOU with the 502nd Security Forces Squadron; the minutes do not show additional public deliberation or an amendment to the resolution.
