District applies to start a campus police department

What happened

On August 10, 2026 the board voted 7-0 to apply for a campus police department and to post a job for a school security officer. It also said that if any ammunition is found on campus, staff must act as if a gun is there: call police, lock down the campus and message parents.

Why it matters to families

This changes how safety incidents are handled. A lockdown and parent message now happen for any bullet found, and an officer could be on campus every day.

The evidence

August 10, 2026 minutes (items D and E) record the 7-0 motion to apply for a campus police department and post a school security officer job, and list the board's four-part directive for live or spent ammunition, to be used until it is added to the crisis plan.
