Irving ISD issued a statement addressing a recent trend of non-credible hoax threats made on social media targeting schools across Texas. The district emphasized that all threats are taken seriously, and any information received is immediately investigated by the Irving Police Department and the Irving ISD Security Department.
This week, the district received information regarding potential threats, which have since been deemed non-credible and unrelated to any Irving ISD campus. The district noted that the commonality of school names, with its middle schools named after state heroes and two high schools named after national heroes, often causes confusion with other schools across the state and country.
Irving ISD reassured parents and the community that appropriate actions will always be taken to ensure the safety of students and staff. The district also urged parents to speak with their children about the severe consequences of making threats, even in jest. The district reminded the community that students could face both legal action from the Irving Police Department and disciplinary consequences under the district's Student Code of Conduct.
The statement concluded by reaffirming that no credible threats exist against Irving ISD schools, and there is no cause for alarm.
