Tuesday's School Safety Tip
Mineola ISD follows the Standard Response Protocol to trigger a set of actions that students, staff, and first responders can use in an emergency to keep everyone safe. It is important to know the meaning behind each response as the District communicates information to the general public.
"Secure" - If a Campus or the District has been placed on "Secure", it means that outside activities have been suspended and everyone is inside the building, behind locked doors.
Why would a "Secure" call be made? An example may be that local law enforcement is responding to an incident near the school that could potentially be dangerous. Classroom instruction would continue as normal, the Mineola ISD Police Department would be on higher alert, as well as the Mineola ISD Guardian Team.
As always, if you have any questions about the District's response to safety and security, please call the Mineola ISD Police Department at (903) 569-2448 (Ext. 2800) or visit their website for more information at https://www.mineolaisd.net/page/misd-police-department.
Have a great evening!
The Mineola ISD District Improvement Committee will meet on Wednesday, September 18th, 2024, at 4:00 p.m. in the Mineola ISD Administration Building. This meeting is open to the public, and anyone interested in helping the District continue to improve is encouraged to attend.
Over the last several days, school districts across Texas have navigated through the disturbing trend of hoaxes and disinformation used on social media platforms to warn about school violence. These posts are nothing new, and with the technology available today, it can be complicated to determine the point of origin. These messages aim to create fear, cause mass hysteria, and disrupt the regular school day schedule.
The Mineola ISD Police Department has a dedicated officer at each of our Campus Buildings to share information with:
Mineola Primary School - Officer Tim Prince
Mineola Intermediate and Middle School - Officer Mike Hurst
Mineola High School - Officer Seth Capps
Mineola ISD Chief of Police - Chief Cody Castleberry
Phone Number: (903) 569-2448 Ext. 2800
Email: police@mineolaisd.net
Please don't hesitate to contact your Campus Officer or Chief Castleberry if any of these messages appear on your or your child's social media feeds.
Also, please download the Mineola ISD App at the Apple Store or Google Play to stay updated on the latest school safety information. The application allows the District to share critical information across the District's Facebook page, X Account, Instagram Account, Live Feed, Push Notifications, Text Message, Voice Call, and Email at the push of a button to share critical information with parents and students across these platforms.

Thank you again for all of your support. We appreciate each of you!

Good morning!
Over the last several days, school districts around East Texas have been investigating unsubstantiated claims on social media of school violence. These posts are being generated on SnapChat and are very vague in nature. Law enforcement agencies across East Texas are working together to address these issues.
Please know that your child's safety is priority number one at Mineola ISD and we will keep you updated on future developments.
Thank you,
Cody Mize
Superintendent of Schools
