School Safety
At CCISD Safety & Security is one of our top priorities. Our teaching staff is fully committed to deliver the best education to all our students while keeping safety at the forefront.
Facilities:
- Our District provides all staff with ID Badges to ensure a controlled access and manage our visitors to our facilities.
- Campuses are secured with vestibules that allow for a controlled access into all of our schools. Access to the campuses is directed to the main entrance of each campus. All doors are to remain secured and checked regularly throughout the school day.
- Our campuses also utilize extensive camera systems that are monitored by our CCISD Police Department and campus administrators.
Communication/ Notification Systems:
- CCISD utilizes an active alert system so that any member of the staff can initiate an emergency if there is a threat in the area, medical issues, or suspicious behavior that administration needs to be notified about.
- Our district utilizes an emergency management program to schedule and conduct emergency drills that informs all staff of an emergency on campus. This sends a message to all staff and our CCISD Police Deparment to keep them informed of what drills the district is conducting.
- CCISD administrators and other key staff are issued two-way radios that communicate directly with our CCISD Police Department and district administrators from inside the campus and can be utilized district-wide.
- CCISD uses School Messenger, phone calls, email and Facebook to inform our parents and community of issues that may arise at the campuses.
- The District has also adopted early detection of student behaviors that may be concerning and cause violence to themself or others. We have adopted a Behavior Threat Assessment program that will document such behaviors and is able to be transferred to any campus throughout the district as the student advances or moves to another school within our district. This allows us to provide students with support and interventions as needed.
Safety of our students, staff and community is a top priority at CCISD. We encourage anyone with any information or concerns about safety issues to report them to the district directly or utilize these anynomous reporting systems: StayALERT or iWatchTexas links on our main webpage. HOWEVER, IF THERE IS AN IMMEDIATE EMERGENCY PLEASE DIAL 911.
