For the second time in three months, College Station ISD school board members and administrators discuss in private, safety and security issues. The only thing that was said at the June 16th meeting, came from board president Kim Ege. She quoted the agenda, which said “The Board will meet in executive session to discuss safety and security updates. The session will be held pursuant to the “Discussion Regarding Intruder Detection Audit and Corrective Action Plan” exception in the Open Meetings Act as set forth in Section 551.076 of Texas Government Code.” After returning to open session, Ege adjourned the meeting. There was no explanation if what was discussed Tuesday was a new security issue or if it was the continuation of a closed door discussion that began during the board’s April 21st meeting.
