The district’s board of trustees approved the per- sonnel contracts and authorized the employees to carry a firearm Oct. 18. The guards will be full-time employees of MISD, rather than hired out through a third party, said trustee Amy Dankel. The overview The new school marshals have nearly 250 collec- tive years of experience, according to information presented by Superintendent Shawn Pratt. The guards come from backgrounds in state and national police roles, including the Chicago, New York City, McKinney and Collin College police departments, among others, he said. “It speaks a lot to the quality of people that [are] recruited to McKinney ISD for safety and security,” Pratt said.
McKinney Boyd HS to renovate 2 elevators The elevators at McKinney Boyd High School are getting a refresh at the end of the school year. The district’s board of trustees approved the $194,287 renovations, which includes replacing and refurbishing the elevator’s mechanical and electrical components, according to the proposal. The age of the elevators make them hard to repair as it is difficult to find parts, the agenda states. Due to this, the elevators have been out of service for multiple days during the school year. The 2021 bond election included $23 million for the refresh of McKinney Boyd, which is ongoing. The elevator renovations will begin on the last day of school May 29 and will be completed no later than Aug. 1.
