Safety and Security

The Coppell Independent School District has had a comprehensive Multi-Hazard Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) in place for several years, and that plan is updated annually. The plan prepares us for action and establishes teams, chains of command, and specific steps to take. All of our staff members are aware of the plan and their roles in case of an emergency. View the Safety Procedures page for more specific safety protocols. 

Additionally, Coppell ISD is in constant contact with local law enforcement and receives updates from the Federal Bureau of Investigation. We will take any recommended action deemed appropriate in the face of any specified threats. There are also ways you can help at home, such as listening to local radio/TV for current information and instructions, and maintaining a heightened alert to suspicious activity. More tips are available via the federal and state Homeland Security websites as well as on the Federal Emergency Management Association (FEMA) site. We intend to continue with our daily business of caring for and educating our children.

Texas Education Code 37.222 Safe Gun Storage

As required by Texas Education Code 37.222, approved during the 88th Texas Legislative Session, the Texas School Safety Center (TxSSC), in collaboration with the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), is providing each school district and open-enrollment charter school information and resources regarding the safe storage of firearms, including information on section 46.13 of the Texas Penal Code.

Restricting access to guns is critical in reducing acts of violence, whether as self-harm or towards others. Guns should be stored unloaded in a safe or locked container, with ammunition stored elsewhere. 

You can learn more and find additional resources from the Texas DPS at https://safegunstoragetexas.com.
