Safety Procedures |

In the event of an emergency, the Goose Creek CISD Administration will evaluate the situation and take action as needed. Among the procedures which may be used to keep your child safe are the following: Shelter in Place • This procedure may be used during chemical releases or other outside environmental conditions that could be hazardous to health. • All windows and doors are locked, and the air conditioning system is shut down. • Notices are placed on the school door to alert visitors about the "Shelter in Place." • For the safety of students and staff, no one is allowed to enter or leave a building. This means that parents will not be able to pick up children from school. It is safer to keep students inside the building rather than expose them to possible harm by allowing them to leave the building. • Once the "all clear" signal is given, students and teachers will return to their regular activities. Please note that if a school is sheltering in place, parents should also shelter in place at home. Lockdown • This procedure may be used when an intruder invades the premises or in other special situations. • All doors, windows, and classrooms are locked. Students and teachers remain in their classrooms until the "all clear" signal is given. • Under lockdown procedures, no one is allowed to enter or leave the building. Parents are not allowed to pick up children from school. • Local authorities provide assistance, if needed. Please note that individuals who violate the "Shelter in Place" or "Lockdown" procedures may face charges-Criminal Trespassing (Texas Penal Code § 30.05), Disruption (Texas Education Code § 31.123) or Class B Misdemeanor. Evacuation • This procedure may be used when students and staff must leave the campus due to hazardous materials incidents, chemical releases, etc. • Students are transported by bus to predetermined evacuation sites; teachers accompany students at all times. • If the situation requires immediate evacuation, students are escorted out of the building by school personnel and walked in a direction away from danger and to a predesignated area.
