Clear Creek ISD Seeks Community Input on School Safety

The Clear Creek Independent School District School Safety Advisory Committee is meeting this summer to review current safety protocols and identify areas of improvement for the 2022-2023 school year in light of recent events.

In 2018, the Clear Creek ISD Board of Trustees approved a set of recommendations from the School Safety Advisory Committee which led to substantial changes to the physical and emotional safety of students and staff. Such improvements include:

• Fifteen additional officers, bringing the total to 41 Galveston County School Liaison Officers
• Fifteen additional student support counselors, bringing the total to 110 counselors
• Upgrades to facilities, classroom door locking systems, exterior access control systems, and camera surveillance
• Standard Response Protocol, which is a national framework of common language, actions, and training for emergencies.
• Anonymous alert system and crisis communication network

The committee will serve as an advisory group to the superintendent and is seeking public input on how Clear Creek ISD can improve school safety. Public input will be shared with the group and district staff.

The public is asked to participate through this ThoughtExchange.

This committee is considered a ‘sprint’ group, meeting in June and July. The group’s recommendations will inform district planning for the 2022-2023 school year. The committee is comprised of parents, law enforcement, staff, mental health professionals, and community members. The meeting schedule moving forward is below:
