KLEIN, Texas \u2013 Parents across Klein ISD<\/a> say they\u2019re worried about their children\u2019s safety after several gun-related incidents happened on district campuses in just one week. Now, a newly formed group of families is pushing for answers \u2014 and stronger security measures.<\/p>\n

The group calls itself the Klein ISD Parent Safety Coalition, and members say they plan to hold a community meeting this week to gather support and petition signatures aimed at prompting action from district leaders.<\/p>\n

Growing concerns among parents<\/p>\n

For many parents in the district, recent events have added new anxiety to the daily routine of sending their children to school.<\/p>\n

Carlee Cobb, a Klein ISD parent, has two children in the district \u2014 a third and a sixth grader.<\/p>\n

She says the recent incidents have left many parents feeling uneasy.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m stressed, always stressed. It\u2019s a terrifying thought,\u201d Cobb said when asked how she feels about sending her kids to school each day.<\/p>\n

According to parents in the coalition, three separate firearm-related incidents occurred on Klein ISD campuses in a single week.<\/p>\n

Those incidents include:<\/p>\n

Cobb says the events have changed how she thinks about her children\u2019s school days.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe second that he gets to his bus stop, he texts me,\u201d she said of her son. \u201cEven though I get notifications from the school district, it still gives me some sense of \u2018okay, he\u2019s going to be fine\u2019 because he\u2019s on the bus.\u201d<\/p>\n

Coalition calls for stronger safety measures<\/p>\n

Now parents are organizing to push for changes.<\/p>\n

The Klein ISD Parent Safety Coalition plans to host a community meeting Tuesday night at the Memorial Northwest Community Center. Organizers say they plan to collect signatures for a petition urging the district to adopt stronger safety measures.<\/p>\n

Some of the changes parents say they want include:<\/p>\n

Installing metal detectors on campuses<\/p>\n

Additional safety training for school staff<\/p>\n

Increasing the number of police officers assigned to campuses<\/p>\n

\u201cMetal detectors are a must,\u201d Cobb said. \u201cTraining the staff \u2014 maybe even more police officers on duty.\u201d<\/p>\n

Community meeting planned<\/p>\n

Organizers say the meeting is open to all Klein ISD families and community members who want to share concerns or support the effort.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to see any and everybody we can be there because these are our children,\u201d Cobb said. \u201cThis is their safety.\u201d<\/p>\n

The coalition says it has also sent a formal demand letter to district leaders and state lawmakers asking for a written response within 14 days outlining how they plan to address the concerns.<\/p>\n
