The McKinney Independent School District (MISD) Board of Directors convened on June 23, 2025, to discuss several key agenda items, with a significant focus on campus safety measures.

The meeting began with the presentation of the intruder detection audit report, a state-mandated requirement aimed at enhancing school safety. Russell May, the Senior Director for Safety and Security at MISD, addressed the board, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a secure environment for students and staff. He noted that this audit was conducted in response to Governor Abbott's school safety directive following the tragic events in Uvalde.

May explained that the audit assesses how accessible campuses are to unauthorized individuals and identifies areas for improvement, such as ensuring that exterior doors are properly locked. He highlighted the district's commitment to working with the school safety and security committee to train students and staff on securing doors effectively.

While the board acknowledged the community's interest in the audit results, May cautioned against sharing specific details publicly, as this could compromise campus security. He concluded by expressing gratitude for the board's support in ongoing safety initiatives.

The meeting underscored MISD's proactive approach to safeguarding its campuses, reflecting a broader commitment to student and staff safety in the wake of recent national concerns. Further discussions on safety measures and community engagement are anticipated in future meetings.
