Guardian Plan Survey Dear Bulldog Family, The Garrison ISD Board of Trustees has begun collecting information regarding the guardian plan in Texas public schools. This plan is currently being implemented in several surrounding school districts. According to the Texas Education Agency, the “Guardian Plan” allows school boards to authorize certain school employees to carry firearms on campuses at all times. It also lets school boards designate the training standards for those specific to employees. At this time we are collecting information from our parents and community members. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScOWGHr-1KtaHcmbsp-NqBEwhs4f1LPeHrbIAq6zTmt5ZSZ0A/viewform?vc=0&c=0&w=1&flr=0

School Health Advisory Council The Garrison ISD school district has established an advisory council (The SHAC) to advise the school board and assist the district in ensuring that local community values are reflected in the district's health education plan. The advisory council will advise and support the school's efforts to assess their needs and to design programs to help children develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes they need to become healthy, productive citizens. This council may include parents, students, teachers, school administrators, voluntary organizations, health professionals, and other concerned citizens. The council meets twice a year. If someone is interested in becoming a member of the advisory council they should contact Denise Derby at 936-347-7027
