Safety & Security
White Settlement ISD continuously evaluates and implements safety measures to enhance security and provide the safest environment for our students, staff and families. White Settlement ISD has a police officer at every school as well as two security officers. The WSISD Safety, Security and Emergency Management Director oversees the district's security measures, which include regular perimeter and door checks to ensure that all school facilities are secure, The Guardian program enables WSISD educators to be trained and evaluated to carry concealed firearms on school facilities. Guardians receive extensive training alongside local law enforcement, with the goal of denying an intruder entry into a classroom or school facility.
WSISD prioritizes the funding of safety initiatives, which includes but is not limited to:
- additional camera systems district-wide;
