Details on Board Approved Updates at CHS

Описание: At a meeting called on October 7, 2025, our Board took decisive action to authorize Community ISD Superintendent Dr. Tonya Knowlton to collaborate with the CISD Police Department to implement immediate safety enhancements across the district. These measures are proactive, intentional, and focused on maintaining safe, secure, and welcoming campuses for all students and staff members.

These steps include:

The deployment of advanced weapon detection systems at all secondary campuses.

The continued use of wanding and bag searches at the high school until the new detection systems are received and installed.

The hiring of an additional police officer at the high school, along with a K-9 officer to enhance threat detection and ensure greater visibility and safety.

The employment of additional trained security personnel, including a designated supervisor to oversee safety operations districtwide.

The implementation of a clear bag policy at secondary campuses and at all sporting events. To help with this transition, the district will provide one clear bag per student, though students are welcome to purchase their own if they prefer.

The continuation of regular safety drills to maintain readiness and effective response protocols.

And the strict enforcement of the student dress code and badge requirements, which now includes no hoodies on any secondary campus, helping staff easily identify individuals and maintain a secure environment.

Thank you for your continued trust, your partnership, and your commitment to helping us maintain schools where our students can learn, grow, and thrive.

Together, we’ll continue to make Community ISD a place where safety and learning go hand in hand.
