The tool, known as Sentinel, will allow districts to provide a range of data to the TEA, from door checks to threat assessments and intrusion detection audits.
SOUTHLAKE, Texas - A Tarrant County school board is considering allowing more staff to carry guns on campus.
The proposal calls for up to 10 Carroll ISD employees to serve as school marshals in Southlake’s schools.
They would be required to have a concealed handgun license.
If the school marshal works directly with students, the gun would be kept locked in a safe.
The school marshal program launched in Texas more than 10 years ago but has not been widely adopted by school districts.
The Carroll ISD school board is set to discuss the plan at its board meeting on Monday at 5 p.m.
