Monday will be the largest wave of students heading back to school in North Texas. About a dozen districts start classes in the morning, including the two largest, Dallas and Fort Worth.
school districts will be required to have an armed security guard at every campus per a new state lawDallas ISD said it will not be able to meet that deadline due to the challenge of an officer shortage and lack of funding, according to the superintendent. DISD is not alone, as other districts try to hire security personnel in time.“We are not going to have 167 additional officers available at every single one of our schools,” said Stephanie Elizalde, Ph.D., during a news conference last week.
She said they plan on looking into other options. The law gives administrators the option to hire licensed private security firms including Level III commissioned security officers. Level III commissioned officers do not have the authority to make an arrest. When it comes to transportation, the district said all the buses will have a new tracking system with real-time GPS. Parents are able to download an app and locate their child.
