Southwest ISD Safety and Security Committee to Review District Vulnerability Assessment and Three-Year Audit

Southwest ISD Safety and Security Committee to Review District Vulnerability Assessment and Three-Year Audit

July 17 2026

Families across Southwest ISD will have an opportunity to learn more about the district’s ongoing school safety efforts when the Southwest ISD Safety and Security Committee holds its next regular meeting on Tuesday, July 21, 2026.

The meeting will begin at 4 p.m. at Southwest Elementary School, located at 11914 Dragon Lane, Building 800, San Antonio, TX 78252. For parents, employees and community members, the agenda offers a closer look at how the district evaluates campus vulnerabilities, reviews security practices and plans for the safety of students and staff.

Southwest ISD Safety Meeting Will Focus on Campus Preparedness

The committee is scheduled to receive two district reports with direct connections to school emergency preparedness and campus security.

Mark Figueroa and Midge Mohler are listed as presenters for the District Vulnerability Assessment. Curtis Clay is scheduled to present the Three-Year Safety and Security Audit.

Vulnerability assessments generally help school districts identify areas where security procedures, facilities or emergency plans may need additional attention. The scheduled audit discussion gives the committee an opportunity to consider the district’s safety systems over a broader period and evaluate whether current practices continue to meet district needs.

For Southwest ISD families, these reviews matter because school safety planning often involves more than what can be seen at a campus entrance. It can include emergency response procedures, security technology, staff preparation, communication systems and coordination among district departments and local first responders.

Public Comment Included on the July 21 Agenda

The meeting agenda includes time for public comment, audience participation and comments on agenda items. It also calls for approval of minutes from previous meetings before the district reports are presented.

Residents planning to attend should note that agenda items may be considered in a different order than they appear on the posted notice. The meeting was posted July 14 in accordance with the Texas Open Meetings Act.

Public meetings such as this one provide a way for families and taxpayers to follow the decisions and evaluations that shape daily operations across Southwest ISD campuses. They also offer insight into how district leaders respond to changing safety concerns while balancing transparency with the need to protect sensitive security information.

Closed Session May Address Security Personnel and Devices

The committee is also scheduled to enter a closed session under Section 551.076 of the Texas Government Code and Section 37.109 of the Texas Education Code.

The closed discussion may address the implementation of security personnel, security devices and security audits. Because detailed conversations about campus vulnerabilities or security systems could create additional risks if discussed publicly, state law permits certain school safety matters to be reviewed in a closed meeting.

Before convening a closed session, the presiding officer must publicly identify the legal authority allowing it. Any final votes, actions or decisions must be made during the open portion of the meeting.

What Happens Next for Southwest ISD School Safety

Following the district reports and any closed-session deliberations, the committee may use the information presented to guide future recommendations, security improvements or follow-up reviews. The posted agenda does not specify whether formal action will be taken on the reports.

For parents and guardians searching for information about Southwest ISD school safety, campus security reviews or the July 21 Southwest ISD committee meeting, the session provides an important window into the district’s continuing work to assess risks and strengthen preparedness.

The Southwest ISD Safety and Security Committee meeting is scheduled for 4 p.m. Tuesday, July 21, at 11914 Dragon Lane, Building 800, in San Antonio.
