“Once again we are immensely saddened by the loss of innocent lives in a tragic shooting at a school…this time at Santa Fe High School in Galveston County, Texas.
“Several years ago we implemented a Fort Worth Police Department training program entitled ‘Avoid, Deny, Defend’ to prepare for a worst-case scenario here. We will revisit that training across the District, asking our team to review and reinforce all safety procedures on and around our campuses.
“We must continue to be observant and renew our commitment to a strong and safe school community. Additionally, we must support the social and emotional health of children and adults through communication and vigilance.
