Monday’s meeting (March 24) meeting of the Bryan ISD school board included a report from two members who participated in last week’s safety and security committee meeting.
Neither Leo Gonzalez or David Stasny gave specific results of BISD’s last two surprise security inspections by state officials.
Stasny, the board president, said “it was acknowledged that we have a pretty good track record with regard to, in terms of our safety record”.
Gonzalez said committee members were presented the administration’s emergency operations plan and cybersecurity annex by the Texas School Safety Center. No details were provided.
Gonzalez also reported there was a demonstration of new technology to detect weapons beyond those made of metal “that we would not want in a school building, but it is not as slow nor as intrusive as a metal detector.” Gonzalez said he and Stasny “asked for some numbers of course on it. It looks great, it’s very cool looking, but it has to be in our price range as well.”
There was no mention during the BISD board meeting about a student’s threat earlier in the day to blow up Rudder High School. A Bryan police spokesman tells WTAW News that the district will handle disciplinary action and BPD’s report will be presented to the district attorney’s office. The spokesman says the decision was made not to interrupt classes, because it was determined there was no immediate threat to the safety of students, staff, or administrators.
