In a nutshell
The district is purchasing four police vehicles from the city of Tomball for $50,000, according to the meeting agenda.
"Providing our police department with updated, reliable vehicles equips our officers to do their jobs more effectively,” Superintendent Mark Ruffin said in a Feb. 18 news release from MISD. “This is a win-win situation for both the city and the school district. M ISD’s Police Department benefits by receiving updated, low-mileage vehicles that have been well-maintained.”
MISD trustees also renewed the district police department’s memorandum of understanding agreement with local law enforcement agencies that have jurisdiction within district boundaries.
The school district works with local law enforcement agencies to coordinate responses in case of emergencies, according to the release.

- The CTE and Agriculture Center is 70% completed.
- Montgomery High School renovations are 70% completed.
