JISD Passes Texas School Safety Center's Intruder Detection Audit
The top priority of Joshua ISD and the State of Texas is keeping students and staff safe every day. The Texas School Safety Center recently conducted an Intruder Detection Audit at one or more of our campuses. The audit tests whether a campus is accessible to an unauthorized individual. This audit, conducted as part of Governor Abbott’s school safety directives for all school systems following the tragedy in Uvalde, seeks to help districts identify how campuses can improve safety for students, such as by ensuring exterior doors are locked. The audit provides us with an opportunity to create a safer learning environment for our students and staff. At this time, we are happy to report that we have met all the requirements of the audit ensuring the safety of students and staff. The support from the state in conducting the Intruder Detection Audits is just one of the many actions we are taking to ensure our schools are safe. We acknowledge that parents and community members are likely very interested in the details of the audit results; however, it is in the best interest of the students that we do not share this information with the broader public as it could lead to compromising important campus security information. Joshua ISD is committed to providing a safe and secure learning environment for our students and staff.
