tell him/her it's going to take about 3 million bucks to get it off the ground; then after that you can start looking for applicants...

I'd contact some school district LE agencies directly and ask someone there. A few in the state I can think of off the top of my head are in major cities such as Dallas, San Antonio, Houston, Conroe just to name a few. Start with some of these school districts and contact someone there for the advice you seek.

You start by having the school board poass a resolution to have a department. Then you can take the resolution to TCLEOSE and get your agency established and an agency number. It is not a cheap process and lots of work up front needs to go into it. Thinks like Board Policies, Department policies, establish budgets etc.
