Liberty Parent Update
Liberty Elementary - Keller ISD
Arrival and Dismissal during Rain and Lightning Procedures
In case of lightning occurring at morning arrival today…here are our campus procedures for rain and lightning.
Have a great day!
Liberty Elementary Rain & Lightning Procedures
Per KISD Guidelines during lightning, the Keller ISD staff will follow the standards set forth by the National Lightning Safety Council. Staff members are not allowed to direct traffic or open car doors during a lightning storm.
Here is what you will need to do in each circumstance:
Morning arrival with lightning:
· Cones will be placed in lanes to help guide traffic
· Pull your car up to the curb in the front of the building. Students will be allowed to enter both the main doorway and the Kindergarten doorway.
· Staff will be outside to assist students in the building once they get out of cars
Morning arrival with only rain:
· Normal drop-off procedures
Afternoon dismissal during lightning:
· Students will be contained inside the building until the lightning storm has passed.
· Although it is not recommended, a parent may enter the building and escort their child outside.
· If you choose to have your child dismissed during a lightning storm, the District will honor the request if you sign the District approved waiver form. This form was available on Infosnap when you completed re-verification this summer.
Afternoon dismissal with no lightning:
· Students will be held inside the main corridors.
· Please pull your car up as usual and teachers will shuttle students from the building to your vehicle.
· This process will add additional time to drop-off/pick-up, but it is well worth it where the safety of our students is concerned.
KISD Swap and Drop
Cast Your Vote in KISD’s Swap & Drop Tax Ratification Election
Early Voting in Keller ISD’s Tax Ratification Election runs through September 4 and Election Day is Saturday, September 8.
On the ballot is a proposition to authorize the Board of Trustees to raise the District’s maintenance and operations tax rate by $0.13, which the Board would then offset with a $0.14 reduction in the District’s interest and sinking tax rate. The net result of swapping the tax rates is a $19 million increase in annual operating revenue for Keller ISD, and a penny drop in the overall tax rate.
In addition to providing more local control of Keller ISD’s tax revenue, the additional funds would be used to balance the District’s budget, provide raises for teachers and staff, and finance upgrades to athletics, fine arts, and security infrastructures.
For more information, visit www.KellerISD.net/SwapDrop! Get informed, know the facts, and vote August 22-September 4 or on September 8.
