Board reviews school-safety audit and reunification annex; item not for approval

The board received a review of the district’s school-safety audit and the accompanying survey responses submitted to the Texas School Safety Center and Texas State University as part of the statutorily required cycle.

A presenter said, "The audit that we presented in May that we performed here is every 3 years," and explained the district completes the survey responses based on the internal safety audit. The presenter said the materials are reviewed by the district School Safety Committee and then retained on file in the front office "by law." The presenter emphasized the item was for review only and did not require board approval.

Staff also said the district will review its Emergency Operating Plan and a reunification annex this year, describing the annex as an addition to the emergency plan. The presenter clarified again that the annex and plan review do not require board approval at this meeting.
