Gold-Burg ISD moves forward to implement defense program
By BARBARA GREEN
Gold-Burg Independent School District voted Monday night to implement a defensive program that uses armed staff members as barriers between students and an intruder.
The Guardian or Defender program was the focus of a public hearing Monday. There was a small turnout with only two citizens and four staff members attending.
The board voted to move forward with implementing the program with a five-one vote. Rebecca Horton abstained and BJ Rainey was absent.
Board members were asked to review the sample policies from other districts and bring them back to the superintendent to prepare a local policy. That document would then go to the Texas Association of School Boards for legal review and then be returned to the board.

Lake Amon G. Carter has now (Thursday, Nov. 14) re-opened for boating. Selma Parkremains closed due to electric problems caused by high water. Water levels remain above normal and boaters should be cautious of possible debris.
The lake was closed on Nov. 8 after heavy rainfall and a rising lake level. It is considered full at 920 mean sea level and through the weekend it was topped more than 922 msl.
