Lockney ISD

We have been notified by the Sheriff that the person of concern for the social media threat against our school is in custody. Other persons of interest are being questioned as well. He given us the "all clear" to begin school at 10:00 and will have Deputies on duty at each campus to ease concerns and reassure our students that they are safe. Thank you to the students who spoke up, the parents who reached out, and the Sheriff's Office for their immediate and professional response.

For the safety of our students and staff, LISD has delayed school until 10:00. This delay is to allow the Sheriff’s Department to investigate an online threat that was posted to social media. It will also allow the Sheriff’s Department to make arrangements for greater law enforcement presence on LISD campuses. Anyone with information regarding the source of the threat should contact the Floyd County Sheriff’s Department immediately. Thank you.

Lockney ISD will begin school at 10:00 today. Details will be forthcoming. Please delay your arrival until 10:00.

LISD Implements Added Security Measure for Students Lockney ISD has implemented the Raptor Visitor Management System at each of our campuses. This system will require visitors of each campus to provide photo identification in order to receive a visitor pass for hallway access. The system will check registers to ensure that all visitors are in good standing to be on the campus. We will not require full clearance for those who are not entering the hallways with our students. (ex. dropping off lunch, picking up students, etc...) This safety measure will be employed only for those visitors who go onto the campus behind locked doors. We hope this gives parents a little more peace of mind for the safety of their children.

Lockney Elementary had a great week last week even if it appeared differently. On Wednesday afternoon, the Sheriffs Department was called to the school by a community member who needed assistance. This issue was not school-related. To add to that anxiety, folks may have seen caution tape in the Elementary foyer. This was because we had a faulty skylight replaced after months of supply delays. Upon completion of the repair, we began cleaning the carpet in that area. The caution tape was there to keep foot traffic off of the areas that were wet. Finally, we incorporated more stringent visitor protocols. These protocols were not associated with any particular event. These measures are considered safer practices and will allow us to better manage who is on campus at all times and are long overdue. Between the presence of law enforcement, caution tape, and more stringent visitor protocols, one might be led to believe that there was something serious happening at the Elementary. The only really serious thing happening was a lot of great teachers and students rocking another week at Lockney Elementary School. If you ever have concerns or questions about anything happening in our District, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. Have a great weekend. Hook ‘Em!

Floyd County Championship News Floydada ISD and Lockney ISD are unified in our commitment to provide an environment that reflects the values of the University Interscholastic League. Please know that Floydada ISD intends to place metal detectors at both gates and we have requested extra security from our local Police Departments, our County Sherriff's Office, and the Texas Department of Public Safety. LISD students, parents, and fans will be expected to remain on the visitor's side of the stadium. Any person displaying poor citizenship or acting in a manner that takes away from the spirit of the game will not be allowed to stay. No elementary students will be allowed to attend the game without a parent present. All students will be expected to be in the bleachers unless they are in line for the concession stand or in the restroom. Rivalries are a great part of Texas high school football. I believe such spirited competitions are meant to bring out the best in our students and our communities. With that in mind, I want to share my profound disappointment that this rivalry, one of the longest running in the State of Texas, has come to a place where such security measures are deemed necessary. To all who are considering attending this game; if you cannot control your anger, hurt, or frustrations over the senseless events of the past week, please do not attend this game. This is a high school football game to be played by the students who have worked hard to continue the tradition of the Floyd County Championship. It is not a place for anything other than supporting your team and the students involved in the competition. It is their turn with the tradition...let it play out on the field. Hook 'Em!
