With only a few days before the start of school, Dallas ISD says it will likely be years before they can fully staff all of their schools with armed officers.
The law gives administrators the option to hire licensed private security firms including for Level III commissioned security officers. Level III commissioned officers do not have the authority to make an arrest.
Schools have a deadline of Sept. 1, however, for the second-largest school district in Texas, it will not be possible in the near future. “We are not going to have 167 additional officers available at every single one of our schools,” Dr. Stephanie Elizalde said. Elizalde is the superintendent for Dallas ISD. “The feasibility of that is not possible. So, what they will see is they might see officers that will be coming during certain periods of time at elementary schools.”“The expenditures are in the neighborhood of $ 12 million.
According to Elizalde, the district’s internal police department of 72 officers will have to take on additional responsibilities. “Our sergeants who supervise officers will now also be assigned to certain areas along with our patrols that we currently have,” Elizalde said.
