As the school year draws near, San Antonio districts are making preparations for the launch of the Sentinel safety system, a new initiative announced by Governor Greg Abbott. Officially rolled out on July 24, Sentinel aims to bolster safety measures and improve communication within schools throughout Texas.
Managed by the Texas Education Agency (TEA), Sentinel is designed to collect, process, store, and distribute school safety information. This system includes a centralized hub that incorporates four main components, making it easier for schools to manage safety protocols.
As the implementation process begins, the San Antonio Independent School District (SAISD) has scheduled a meeting today to introduce the Sentinel system to its School Safety and Security Committee and outline their plans moving forward. Meanwhile, the Northside Independent School District (NISD) and North East Independent School District (NEISD) have already received the system but are still in the process of rolling it out.
In contrast, the East Central Independent School District (ECISD) has not yet provided feedback regarding their implementation status, leaving some questions unanswered.
To assist districts in understanding and integrating Sentinel effectively, the TEA’s Office of School Safety and Security will offer a webinar for staff on July 31. This session aims to clarify how the system will operate and its expected benefits.
As the rollout of Sentinel progresses, more updates will be shared, especially insights from today’s SAISD meeting and discussions with the TEA about the system’s anticipated impact on school safety in San Antonio.
