School Board Seeking Exception to Armed Guard Mandate
📅 November 16, 2026
The board will vote on a resolution to declare a ‘good cause exception’ to the state law requiring an armed security officer on every campus. This action would allow the district to avoid complying with the House Bill 3 security mandate, potentially leaving campuses without the level of security required by the Legislature.

Ask them to explain in public session, under Item 3.D, why they cannot find the funding or personnel for an armed officer as required by state law, and what alternative security measures will be in place.
