Student safety in Fort Stockton was at the forefront of the district’s school board meeting on June 30 and after much discussion between all trustees and law enforcement in attendance, Fort Stockton ISD decided to make a significant investment to further protect their students.

The Fort Stockton Independent School District will have five school resource officers for the 2022-2023 school year following a decision made at the June 30 school board meeting. The City of Fort Stockton and Police Chief Robert Lujan were able to lend the five officers to the school district while still maintaining officers for their patrol duties.
