Safety
Due to recent school shootings, new state laws are altering how schools handle safety and security. Our district has begun making these changes a reality by adding more cameras across campuses.
An essential tool is the Anonymous Alerts App, which assists law enforcement officers in identifying students carrying weapons in our schools. This app is freely available for everyone to download – parents, teachers and students alike should all take advantage of it! CISD encourages everyone in its community to do just that.
Newly appointed school-commissioned peace officers must also undergo additional training on child development and de-escalation techniques, and all schools must develop an emergency operations plan by Jan 2020 as mandated by a new law passed this year.
