The Northeast Independent School District said its own emergency response team with SWAT capabilities is ready to protect students starting this school year.
The eight-member ERT team will patrol in pairs to cover the entire school district, which includes 60,000 students on 70 campuses.
It is the second largest school district in San Antonio and the tenth largest in Texas. Only Northside Independent School District is larger, compared to other districts in San Antonio.
NEISD spokeswoman Aubrey Chancellor said the team is ready to put an end to any life-threatening incident at any school. “If [los hombres armados] They enter a school, they go to face the threat.”
Chancellor said many of the team members have prior military and SWAT experience.
“They’ve been through a lot during the interview process,” he said. “They have to meet a certain standard of physical requirements. They’ve been through some mental tests. They’ve been through some very difficult training to see if they were even going to qualify for this job.”
Teachers and staff return to campuses on August 5. Students return to campuses on August 12.
