All Gainesville ISD campuses pass safety audits; intruder detection testing highlighted

Gainesville Independent School District Safety and Security Committee · March 20, 2026

Summary

Chief Jason Peacock told the Safety and Security Committee that ESC Region 11 audits and annual Intruder Detection Audits found no major vulnerabilities; final region reports are due to the superintendent in mid‑May and daily door checks found no external doors unlocked.

Chief Jason Peacock reported to the Gainesville ISD Safety and Security Committee that the district’s three‑year safety audits, performed through ESC Region 11 as required by Texas Education Code §37.108, are complete and that final reports will be submitted to the superintendent in mid‑May.

He told the committee that "all campuses audited this year passed with flying colors" and explained that Intruder Detection Audits (IDAs), mandated under Texas Education Code §37.1084, are unannounced exercises that test access control and staff responses to unauthorized entrants. Peacock said IDA was moved from executive session on the agenda so the committee could note the audit process and timing.

Committee members were also told that Gainesville ISD officers conduct twice‑daily door checks; during recent checks no external doors were found unlocked and nearly all interior doors were secured. The district will use the forthcoming Region 11 reports to identify any recommended improvements and to document compliance with state audit requirements.
