Eight schools across North East ISD were audited for safety in recent weeks, with three having receiving some “findings' in the results.
Credit:The leader of the North East Independent School District is asking parents, students and teachers to be mindful of door safety protocols.
“This has now become a people issue,” Maika said during the meeting. “We’re at a point now where our doors are operating, it is now about staying vigilant and not becoming complacent.” For example, when parents arrive at a campus, they must show their ID on camera before being buzzed into the building during the day. When let in, they sometimes let others waiting to get in behind them instead of closing the door.“When people are knocking on the door and they are just letting them in, you are defeating that locked-door piece ,” Maika said.
The state has given school districts millions of dollars to provide or improve security devices, including panic buttons, fencing and doors, as well as adding requirements for armed officials at each school. NEISD also spent about $2.5 million last yearto comply with new requirements by the state, arguing at the time that the purchase needed to be kept confidential to ensure district safety.
According to a TEA spokesperson, findings could relate to the physical operation of a door or the protocols in place.
