Okie Dokie. But I looked at the CCISD web page and they showed a different location and a different date for their board meeting. I'm likely just confused.....

Are you sure this is the right address?

This is very much a top down issue. Harrold ISD is sort of a unique situation in that they are rural, have more than their share of rattle snakes, an active FFA program, and obviously a board that is very supportive of chl. I don't think the nexus of their decision was so much fear of an armed person assaulting the school so much as being able to dispatch those rattlers. If the district in which you reside is similar to the Harrold demographic, you might be able to convince the authorities so authorize concealed carry by the staff.

Approval to carry concealed on a school campus is a matter that would be voted on by the board of education itself. Nobody including the superintendent would have the authority to authorize this unless the board has already given such authority to do so to the superintendent. A principal would not have the authority to approve this unless so authorized by the sup. and he in turn would need authority of the board.

Edit--In Texas districts, the procedure dictates that the board select a superintendent and that person in turn brings matters to the board for consideration. You could speak to the sup. about this but if the board is well trained in the TASB model, speaking to the board members will bring a response that you need to direct your issue to the superintendent's office.
