The board voted 6-1 in favor of implementing the program. School Board President Clementine Cantu said instead of teachers being armed, “think about retired law officers or retired military — they could come and be the marshals.”
– The San Marcos Consolidated Independent School District has started the process of implementing a school marshal program.on Monday, the administration voted 6-1 in favor of implementing the program, which would see armed school marshals at district campuses.
Cantu said school resource officers are already stationed at all the middle and high school SMCISD campuses and that the new program would put marshals at elementary schools.There would also be requirements that include passing a psychological exam, completion of Texas Commission on Law Enforcement training, passing a written state exam and having a current handgun license, based on a presentation given during the meeting.
“The vote at the board meeting just gave administration approval to begin the process to start a school marshal program in San Marcos,” Fernandez said. “We still have to develop all the plans and then those plans go to the board.”Board member Mari Salmi, the only board member who voted against implementing the program, echoed those sentiments.
