In response to these incidents, Klein ISD is increasing security measures district-wide.
Starting March 23, after Spring Break, schools will see:
Increased police presence on all campuses in partnership with local law enforcement agencies.
Expanded random metal detector screenings, conducted on an unannounced, rotating schedule.
Increased K-9 searches in coordination with law enforcement.
“We know that it is not one safety approach that makes the difference, but rather our layered approach to safety measures that keep students and staff safe,” Klein ISD Superintendent Dr. Jenny McGown said in a letter addressed to families and staff.
She also urged parents to secure firearms at home and discuss the seriousness of bringing weapons to school, reminding families that students who bring weapons will face expulsion and felony charges.
District leaders also reminded families about reporting concerns through Klein ISD’s KeepKleinSafe anonymous tip line, which can be found here.
