Received this letter from NEISD

April 23, 2014
Dear NEISD Community:

I want to thank you for your patience and cooperation during this uncertain time. As you know, the San Antonio Police Department has been investigating claims that there would be violence at an unidentified elementary school in the city on Thursday, April 24. While police have said this threat is not considered credible, we continue to stay on high alert and are taking the situation seriously.

Due to extra precautionary measures being taken, events during the school day tomorrow will be modified or canceled at elementary schools. We will limit the number of visitors to all NEISD campuses. Our schools will be considered "closed campuses."

In addition, we will have a police presence at every one of our schools, and administrators, teachers and staff are working together to ensure the safety of our students, staff and community.

I appreciate your continued support.

Sincerely,
Brian Gottardy, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools

Is anyone else concerned about sending their children to school on Thursday? Here is a link to this news story:

I've talked to several parents who are concerned and one who is not sending her children. I've been conflicted but now that they have closed campuses-and at our school are having indoor recess and it sounds like a Watch Dog presence-I will probably send my son. Most of the moms I've talked to today, including the 8 I just went downtown with, are feeling better with the extra precautions.

I was going to start a thread on this matter, but I think that people that do these acts feed on this kind of stuff. I don't know if my thinking is narrow minded, and yes, my daughter is going to school tomorrow.

I'm not sending my son to school, but he has been sick the last two days anyway. I don't know if I would have sent him otherwise.

Perhaps if there were more information available.
I don't understand how they can say the threat isn't credible, yet they haven't caught the person. So how do they know it isn't credible without having the person or persons behind it and at least talking to them?

Every day this week the schools keep sending letter after letter after letter home about this threat. And email after email after email after email. If they send another letter or message, just one more letter or message, then I am keeping my kids at home if the admins are going to keep freaking out about this.

If I were the one to send this kind of message I would be very uncomfortable right about now. Messages can be traced back to their origins with today's technologies, and brother if you wanted an extra day off from school you'll be getting a bunch of them soon.

Well lets hope that they are dumb enough not to know that, since there are ways to modify your IP address.

NISD will be on soft lock down all day tomorrow. There will only be one entrance and exit to the school. There will be no maintenance or techs doing any work at any schools during classroom hours. They are taking it serious. I'd suggest if you have kids in NISD to take them a little earlier than normal due to limited access to the school.
