District safety staff told the Board of Trustees on Nov. 14 that an unannounced intruder‑detection audit at Cambridge on Oct. 22 found no findings, and that remaining campuses will be audited in turn.

Frank Stanich, who briefed trustees, described the intruder‑detection audit process used by the Texas School Safety Center: auditors attempt unannounced physical access to campus grounds through open gates, unfenced areas and open doors, moving around the campus in a clockwise direction to test access control. If auditors cannot gain entrance, they present credentials to school office staff and request to speak to the safety coordinator. Stanich said Cambridge staff were able to prevent unauthorized entry and followed the required procedures; he reported “we had no findings.” He credited campus safety lead Heather Smith and district training for the result.

Stanich noted the audit report is treated as confidential safety information and offered to answer procedural or other confidential questions directly rather than in open session. Trustees asked a few process questions; one trustee related a personal attempt to gain access at the high school earlier that day and said the campus had correctly followed access control measures.

District staff said the intruder‑detection audit is one element of the district’s safety work; audits for other campuses are scheduled for later in the year.
