October 7, 2022 (Corpus Christi, Texas) – Texas School Safety Center (TxSSC) in coordination with Texas Education Agency (TEA), recently began randomly checking school buildings with a goal of inspecting 100% of school districts and 75% of campuses across the state of Texas by the end of the school year. The new random intruder detection audits are part of a directive handed down by Gov. Gregg Abbott to ensure school buildings are properly secured in the wake of the school shooting at Uvalde CISD.
This week, Flour Bluff ISD received a random intruder detection visit. The auditor visited a campus and attempted entry to the school building and could not enter the facility without following procedures set by the district. The representative also inspected the district’s records that are kept for weekly door sweeps.
Our team of educators will continue to ensure that all mandated safety initiatives are enforced and monitored to meet the State guidelines. Many thanks to our faculty, staff, students, and parents for supporting our initiatives to meet our goals! – Velma Soliz-Garcia
