Grand Saline debates juvenile facility as school campus plan
Town meeting attendees clash over a proposed juvenile detention center linked to Grand Saline ISD. Officials insist the center would not house students on existing campuses but would function as a fifth campus with a district to provide teachers funded by ADA and state juvenile funds. Security plans aim to prevent escapes, while critics fear safety risks and community impact. The juvenile board must weigh the proposal by August 19 with Van Zandt County Court approval. if approved, bids could go out by October and construction could start in late 2024.
