In Katy ISD, the safety of students and teachers is a primary concern. In order to learn, students need a secure environment where they can concentrate on their studies, and teachers need a secure environment in order to teach. Katy ISD has a district procedures manual that provides direction to staff in handling emergency situations ranging from bad weather to bomb threats. As comprehensive as these guidelines are, a response to an event must often be modified to fit the specifics of the particular situation. Parents can be assured that any time a campus faces a crisis situation, every decision made and every action taken is always done with the safety and security of the students as the foremost consideration.

Fortunately, emergencies are rare. Nevertheless, Katy ISD diligently works with staff, students, parents and the community to maintain a safe and secure environment in each school on a day-to-day basis. This is done through programs as simple as SafetyNet suggestion boxes or as complex as the Katy ISD Police Department.
