Safety & Security
According to Texas Education Code section 37.109, which was amended substantially in 2019 by Senate Bill 11, each school district must establish a school safety and security committee. Updated policies related to the committee are included in TASB Policy Service’s Update 114 to the Policy Reference Manual. By law, the committee must operate in accordance with guidelines from the Texas School Safety Center (TxSSC). The TxSSC guidelines do not yet reflect SB 11 changes.
