According to a Channel 2 local news story, 41 minutes elapsed between the first 911 call and activation of the emergency alert system after the April 9 stabbing spree at LSC Cy-Fair. After hearing from students who were concerned that they had not been notified about the danger, an open records request was filed. 

"Following an evacuation of the campus, Senior Vice Chancellor Rand Key told reporters during a news conference that security alerts were sent 'immediately,' but declined to talk specifics." Click here to see the full story or watch the news video (about 2 minutes). 

We need trustees who will hold the senior administration accountable for keeping students safe and telling the truth.
