Lieutenant Frank Garcia of the Judson ISD Police Department briefed trustees on the district’s Standard Response Protocol (SRP), which defines five emergency actions — Hold, Secure, Lockdown, Evacuate and Shelter — and described the district’s expectations for staff, students and parents during each.
"There are 5 actions included in the standard response protocol. Hold, secure, lockdown, evacuate, and shelter," Garcia said, explaining that a hold keeps hallways clear for internal incidents, a secure keeps people inside during an outside hazard, a lockdown is used when a threat is inside the building and can only be released by law enforcement, an evacuate moves students to another location, and a shelter responds to weather or hazmat hazards.
Garcia told the board that communications during incidents will come via district text and email and urged families to keep contact information up to date so reunification can occur smoothly. Board members also heard that intruder-detection security audits at four campuses showed no findings. The board did not change SRP policy during the meeting.
