What some of you don't know is that there was a 'close call' in La Vernia earlier this year.  According to La Vernia ISD, someone tried to enter their campus in January.  At that point, the school district went into to action to ensure the safety of its students, faculty, and staff. In April, the La Vernia school board did approve what is called the guardian program.
