Killeen ISD board authorizes application for active‑attack response equipment grant

Deputy Superintendent Scott Hequembourg presented a resolution authorizing the district to apply for the Active Attack Response Equipment Grant, a state program created in response to House Bill 33 that provides funding for ballistic shields and breaching equipment for campus police. Hequembourg said approval to apply would allow Killeen ISD to pursue state funding to procure ballistic shields for ISD police officers but did not commit the district to any specific purchases without subsequent approvals.
