School Safety Compliance: Is the District Seeking an Exemption?
📅 Scheduled Action
The board will vote on a resolution regarding the state law requiring an armed officer on every campus. Without the text of the resolution, it is unclear if the board is voting to fully comply with the law or if they are seeking a ‘good cause exception’ to avoid the requirement, potentially leaving campuses less secure.
Response

INVESTIGATE: The district has not published the text of its proposed resolution on school security. Contact the Shamrock ISD administration to request a copy of the resolution for Item 6 and ask if the board is voting to fully comply with state law or seeking a ‘good cause exception’ to the armed officer requirement.

💰 Impact: Reduced Campus Security

District Certifies Compliance with State Law
📅 Scheduled Action
The board is formally certifying its compliance with state law enacted by Senate Bill 12. This action affirms the district’s commitment to following laws passed by the Texas Legislature, a positive step in governance and accountability.
How to Secure It

SECURE THE WIN: Attend the meeting to thank the board for formally certifying compliance with state law under Item 7. Publicly acknowledging their commitment to the rule of law encourages continued transparency and sets a positive example.
