Alvin ISD’s board of trustees approved the application for two state safety grants intended to reinforce campus security and emergency response for the 2026-27 school year during its Feb. 10 meeting.
The details
The district will apply for the Active Attack Response Grant Program and the Rifle-Resistant Body Armor Grant Program, both for fiscal year 2026-27.
If awarded, the grants would fund approved safety and response equipment designed to enhance law enforcement readiness, according to district documents.
The background
The grants align with House Bill 33, passed during the 88th Texas Legislature, which emphasizes prevention strategies and improved coordination among school districts statewide.
Both programs are administered by the office of the governor to assist school districts with emergency response efforts, including the purchase of equipment that supports coordinated action during active attack situations, according to district documents.
What’s next
If awarded, the district will move forward with purchasing the approved equipment in preparation for the 2026-27 school year, according to district documents.
