Thrall ISD has been struggling to afford the unfunded and underfunded mandates coming out of the Capitol, such as the House Bill 3, which requires an armed officer at every school. This mandate passed with only $15,000 of funding for each campus, resulting in schools needing to make up the difference to pay for the new armed officer stationed at each campus.
“We couldn't come close to affording the cost of a district police department or even the School Resource Officer program,” Board President Bryan Holubec said. “We have our guardian program, and we have good people who accept that responsibility for a stipend that fits within our budget...it's basically volunteering, what they're doing.”
