McKinney ISD Information
Your Words and Actions Matter – Help Keep Our Schools Safe
McKinney ISD strives to provide a safe and secure environment for our students, staff and community. All threats and all reports of suspicious activity are thoroughly investigated by our Safety & Security department, in conjunction with the McKinney Police Department. Unfortunately, false reports of violence to schools are trending, and in an effort to impede this kind of illegal behavior, we want everyone to understand the consequences of saying or making a fake threats.
Maintaining a safe school environment is our highest priority. We are sharing the video below so you are informed of current practices. This applies to students who have reached the age of culpability, in the state of Texas, that is 10 years old. We want everyone to enjoy a safe, positive elementary experience and always want to partner with you when discipline issues arise. However, there are some instances where the consequences are beyond our control. We hope this helps you feel informed and allows you the opportunity to have conversations with your child to support their understanding of the power of words. At this time, this information is being shared proactively, we are not sharing in response to a threat to/at Wilmeth.
McKinney ISD Safety and Security
Providing a safe and secure environment for students, staff, and visitors is among our highest priorities. Our school district has undertaken a number of necessary steps toward preparing staff and students for emergencies, securing facilities, and working cooperatively with law enforcement/emergency services.

The handout linked explains the Standard Response Protocol that staff and students follow and practice throughout the year. Please use this link to view the Standard Response Protocol handout.
