OISD board OKs safety plan

The school board approved its emergency operations plan and held closed-session discussions of the Texas School Guardian Program, a state program which trains school personnel to carry concealed weapons to defend campuses in the event of an active shooter, OISD Superintendent Dr. Greg Roach said. The identities of the Guardians and the school’s safety plans will be kept confidential. Private security expert Danny Deffenbaugh was expected to complete his assessment of OISD’s three campuses on Sept. 30, and make his report to the board, Dr. Roach said.
