Safety
The safety and security of our students and staff is the top priority at SMSD!
Stafford Municipal School District (SMSD) has developed a comprehensive Emergency Procedures Plan and Handbook that aligns with the Texas Education Agency (TEA) School Safety standards and meets requirements outlined by the Texas School Safety Center, including those found in the Texas School Safety Center District Audit Report. Our district is committed to the safety and well-being of students, staff, and visitors, ensuring a proactive and thorough approach to emergency preparedness and response.
In collaboration with the City of Stafford, SMSD has access to the Emergency Management Coordinator and partners with local law enforcement agencies. Full-time Stafford police officers are assigned to monitor our campuses regularly, both through visible patrols within our hallways and via our extensive school surveillance system. Interior and exterior cameras are strategically placed throughout the district to ensure ongoing monitoring of school grounds.
The SMSD Board of Trustees has consistently prioritized school safety, allocating resources and implementing security measures designed to protect all members of the school community. Visitors wishing to access our campuses must go through a process that includes clearance through the Raptor ID system. Only those with a valid, pre-approved purpose are granted access, ensuring a secure and controlled environment.
Stafford MSD continues to work diligently with local and state agencies to maintain and enhance our safety practices, fostering a secure learning environment for all students and staff.
