LISD has welcomed a designated, certified K-9 detection team. Although the state did not provide funding to cover the expenses our district will acquire as we implement this unfunded mandate, LISD has begun our efforts to comply with the requirements of this new law. ![]() This year during the 88th Legislative Session, House Bill 3, or the school safety bill, passed which requires every single school in the state of Texas to have at least one armed security personnel on campus. In the meantime, we will continue to utilize LISD’s award winning Elementary Rover program with our local law enforcement partners who continually rotate around our elementary campuses on a daily basis conducting perimeter checks and being a visible presence in our district. The district is working diligently to fill Guardian positions as soon as possible. While we will strive to get these positions filled as soon as possible, LISD will not compromise on the Guardians we hire, the level of training they receive, or our ability to provide them proper equipment for their safety. LISD is seeking retired law enforcement, retired firefighters, honorably discharged veterans, and security professionals to fill this vital role across our district. These guardians will undergo background checks, drug screenings and psychological evaluations before hire, and they must already have their Texas License to Carry. State law requires a 16 hour school safety training course for these positions, however, LISD will be requiring roughly 100 hours of training for campus Guardians and Guardian Supervisor positions, with additional training annually.
