School Safety & Security Planning Committee

Each year, this School Safety and Security Committee (SSSPC) is responsible for the following:

• Maintaining and updating the District Emergency Operations Plan (EOP);

• Ensuring that all required staff complete required training;

• Providing tabletop drills on a regular basis;

• Debriefing and evaluating both district and campus crisis response;

• Providing leadership and support for campus staff; and,

• Providing and maintaining crisis plans for all staff aligned with the District EOP.

The 2019 Texas Legislature made some changes to the duties and organization of this committee within Senate Bill 11. Most notably, the meetings of the District Crisis Management Team comply with the Texas Open Meetings Act. The committee may meet in executive session as provided by Chapter 551 of the Government Code; however, a notice of a committee meeting must be posted in the same manner as notice of a meeting of the Board of Trustees.

Meetings will be conducted at 12:00 p.m. in the Golden Rule - DeSoto Campus, Building #5 Rm 310 at 135 W. Wintergreen Rd.
