Plano ISD is one of the area districts relying on the school marshal program to help meet the new requirements by the state to have armed security on all public school campuses. But like many districts, it also won't meet the state's deadline.
Plano ISD says it looked at all of the options on the table and says the school marshal program was the best fit for them. However, the hiring process will take time, including interviews and psychological testing. On Plano ISD’s website, there’s now a page to apply to be part of the school marshal program. Under qualifications, it reads, ‘retired peace officer preferred.’
"They provide the training. They have certain requirements in the school marshal license," Keating said. Therefore, the district applied for an exception: an alternate plan on how it’ll eventually comply with the law. McKinney has been looking and hiring retired peace officers for its elementary schools since the job was posted in June, but the on-boarding process is still taking place.
