Board claims exception to state armed-guard rule
What happened
On September 17, 2026 the board voted 6-0 for a resolution declaring a "good cause exception" to the HB 3 requirement to have an armed security officer at each campus.
Why it matters to families
Texas law expects an armed officer at every campus unless the board finds good cause, often a lack of money or qualified staff. Parents may want to ask what safety plan is used instead.
