Summary
PHARR-SAN JUAN-ALAMO ISD hosted a regional "train the trainer" session to promote a standard student reunification and evacuation protocol, saying the training is open to nearby districts and aims to improve coordination with outside law enforcement.
A presenter with PHARR-SAN JUAN-ALAMO ISD said the district hosted a "train the trainer" session focused on standardizing student reunification and evacuation procedures across schools.
The presenter said the training—which included a reunifier component that has just concluded—was designed to create a consistent reunification process and evacuation plan "should the event of a major emergency happen." They said the protocol is intended to apply within the state of Texas and across the district to ensure a unified response.
According to the presenter, a primary goal is smoother coordination with outside law enforcement agencies: "That way, you know, if we do have outside law enforcement agencies coming to help us, our officers, our staff are gonna be able to work together with them with this standard response, etiquette that we're learning today." The session aims to teach both the operational steps and the "etiquette" for interagency cooperation.
The presenter noted a logistical matter during the session and emphasized access: "This isn't just the PSJA school district." They said other school districts from the Valley and "as far north as San Antonio" attended, and that PHARR-SAN JUAN-ALAMO ISD will continue offering the training to the community.
The session outlined a district-level push for a standard response protocol, but specific next steps, timelines, or formal adoption actions were not specified in the transcript.
The presenter closed by reiterating the district's commitment to offering training broadly and continuing efforts to standardize reunification practices across participating districts.
