Boerne ISD approves safety, security coordinator position

SAN ANTONIO — After Gov. Greg Abbott revealed his School Safety Plan earlier this month, one San Antonio-area school district is wasting no time in enhancing campus security.

School officials for Boerne ISD approved a safety and security coordinator position this week.

The district said the position will implement safety and security procedures, develop a emergency management plan and oversee student safety initiatives for the district.

I hope this works better for Boerne than it did for our local district. Ours hired a new coordinator a few years ago, while Argyle was implementing their armed teacher policy. Almost nothing has changed in the schools in our district since. All the elementary schools are as vulnerable today as they were then. The district has been through a number of high profile events and those seem to have done more for tightening school safety than the coordinator did.

I'm like you and predict an overpaid bureaucrat will accomplish nothing. I am hoping I'm wrong, but even if worthwhile recommendations are forthcoming the cost will be a roadblock for adoption.
