“I don’t know that this has garnered community insight but what I do know is that, if there was an active shooter in HISD, our police department is not prepared,” House said during an agenda review meeting.
His remarks were in response to questioning from Trustee Dani Hernandez regarding an item the board is expected to vote on during next week’s meeting for purchase of items worth more than $100,000. The specific agenda item includes various purchases for the school district’s police department.
“As we study the Uvalde scenario and looked at what ... proper preparation that needs to be in place, officers would not have been prepared for what that looks like,” House said. Hernandez asked what research was guiding HISD, instead of feelings. House asked HISD police Chief Pete Lopez to share information in response to her question.
Hernandez asked if the district needed one shield for each officer on the district’s police department.
