Relating to authorizing the Texas School Safety Center to conduct random safety and security audits of public schools; authorizing a civil penalty.
SB 936 authorizes the Texas School Safety Center to conduct random safety and security audits at public school districts across Texas. The audits include reviewing safety policies, inspecting records, interviewing staff, testing visitor procedures, and inspecting school facilities. School districts must grant reasonable access for these audits, and obstructing them could result in civil fines of $50-$500 per violation (with each day of obstruction counted separately). The bill also waives legal immunity for school board members who block audits and allows the attorney general to pursue enforcement. This directly affects all public school districts in Texas by requiring compliance with these safety assessments.
