PSJA reports TEA intruder detection audits, says training and corrective steps underway
Summary
PSJA told the board TEA conducted intruder detection audits at several campuses and that the district has implemented in‑person training, weekly door‑sweep logs and committee review; officials said sensitive audit details were withheld from open session.
The Pharr‑San Juan‑Alamo ISD board was notified on Nov. 17 that the Texas Education Agency conducted Intruder Detection Audits at multiple campuses and that the district has implemented corrective steps and additional training.
Assistant Superintendent for Student Services Dr. Orlando Noyola said TEA provided audits for specified campuses in September and October 2025 and that the district will not disclose sensitive details in open session. "It is required by the Texas Education Agency that the school board of trustees provide the public with notice ... that Intruder Detection Audits were conducted," Noyola said.
Noyola outlined the audit phases—intruder access, exterior door audit, classroom doors and weekly sweeps—and said corrective actions include in‑person training, presentation to the District Safety and Security Committee, and instituting weekly exterior door sweeps and door‑log documentation. He also said the district currently lacks a formal interior door policy and noted that policy development and training are among next steps.
