Key Actions & Decisions

• ◆ Albion’s school board approved a security-services agreement before the fall term and, in September, authorized an additional full-time aide for special-education support. Those decisions appear in the district’s official August 24 and September 14 board summaries.
• ◆ The security agreement followed an August 3 presentation from C.O.P.s representatives about placing guards in schools and providing coverage for school events. Representatives described their staff as off-duty or retired police officers or military members. At the August 24 special meeting, the board approved the agreement. The summaries do not provide the signed contract, its price, staffing schedule or exact duties, so those details remain unverified.
• ◆ The board also adopted the 2026–27 district-wide safety plan on August 3. Superintendent Mickey Edwards reported that the amended plan had been posted for a 30-day public-comment period and that no comments on the amendments had been made. The board separately approved confidential building-level emergency-response plans. The summary records adoption but does not describe the plans’ operational details.
