Update 1:32 p.m.
Mineola High School was placed on "Lockdown" at approximately 12:20 p.m. due to what sounded like gunshots being fired in the neighborhood of the Mineola ISD Transportation and Maintenance Building. These sounds were heard by a Mineola ISD Maintenance Employee and a nearby Mineola Police Department Officer. All other Campuses in the District were placed on "Secure", while the Mineola Police Department investigated the incident.
The investigation concluded that a vehicle backfiring several times throughout the neighborhood triggered the incident. We appreciate the prompt response of the Mineola Police Department, Mineola ISD Police Department, Faculty, Staff, and Students who responded so quickly to this incident.
This afternoon, a debrief will occur with our students, Faculty, and Staff at the High School, and an After Action Review will be conducted by all of those responding to this incident tomorrow morning to better understand what we can learn from this and respond even better in case of a real-world incident. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me at mizec@mineolaisd.net.
Our best,
Cody Mize
Superintendent of Schools

We did it! We canned the principal! We exceeded our goal of 12,000 canned goods collected for Caring and Sharing, forcing Mrs. Thompson out of her office and into the parking lot! When you work in the parking lot, you get some interesting visitors, too!
