District explains Lightspeed alert-response framework to principals and trustees

E Valley Consolidated Independent School District Board of Trustees · August 18, 2026

Summary

Superintendent described how the district's Lightspeed monitoring tool flags keywords, categorizes severity, and escalates alerts to campus administrators and district student-services staff for follow up.

Superintendent Dr. Hinojosa briefed trustees on the Lightspeed alert-response framework the district is deploying to identify and escalate student-safety concerns detected by keyword and pattern analysis.

Dr. Hinojosa explained that the AI-driven system flags messages and categorizes them as low, impact, or high severity. "When the email ... picks up certain keywords and key terms, once that email is sent out to the administrator of that campus, they are kinda marked as low, impact, high impact, or in terms of the severity," he said, describing the automated triage. For severe threats the system is configured to bypass email and directly call the chain of administrators until someone responds.

He said principals were trained at a July 29 retreat and that the district's director of student services (Mr. Delafuente) will receive campus alerts and follow up the next morning. Trustees raised no objections and asked for continued reporting at future board meetings.
