Dear Parents,
I am writing to address a serious matter that has come to our attention. There has been a rumor circulating among some of our students about a possible school shooting at the Bandera High School. I want to assure you that we take this matter very seriously and are taking every precaution necessary to ensure the safety of our students and staff.
Firstly, I want to emphasize that this rumor is unsubstantiated and there is no credible evidence to suggest that there is any imminent danger to our school. However, we recognize the importance of taking every threat seriously and have taken steps to ensure that we are prepared to respond appropriately in the event of an emergency.
We are working closely with local law enforcement to monitor the situation and have increased our security measures on campus. Our staff have been trained to respond to emergency situations and we conduct regular drills to ensure that everyone knows what to do in the event of an emergency.
We understand that this news may be concerning for many parents and students. We encourage you to talk to your children about the importance of reporting any suspicious activity or behavior to a trusted adult. It is crucial that we work together as a community to keep our school safe.
We take the safety and well-being of our students very seriously, and we will continue to work diligently to ensure that our school remains a safe and welcoming environment for everyone. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact our school administration.
Sincerely,
Gary Bitzkie
Bandera ISD Superintendent
