Safety & Security Division

"Improving campus safety is a never-ending job and despite all that we do, we always have room to grow in our efforts. It’s imperative that we continue to grow because without safety – nothing else matters. Nothing."

- Dr. Eric Wright, Superintendent of Schools  

The Hays CISD Safety & Security Department was created in mid-2018 by Superintendent Dr. Eric Wright and the Board of Trustees.  The vision and goal of the department was to consolidate duties and projects in the area of school safety and school security into one department and to provide one point of contact for the needs of the district and students.

  • Develop and maintain a District Emergency Response Plan

  • Develop and maintain Campus and Facility Emergency Response Plans for all Hays CISD campuses and facilities

  • Serve as the Emergency Management Coordinator for the district

  • Manage and serve on the District Safety Committee

  • Perform and ensure improvement in emergency response drills (i.e. fire, lockdown and evacuation)

  • Provide training and other items necessary to ensure the safety and security of all partners of Hays CISD
