While KISD police and KCHS administration said they did not believe the social media posts or threats to be credible in a letter to parents, the district has since worked with the Harris County Precinct 4 Constable's Office and the FBI to identify a student of interest. According to the letter, criminal charges are currently pending on the identified student, and the district has emergency expelled the student in accordance with the student code of conduct.
"Klein ISD has a zero-tolerance policy, and significant legal ramifications exist for making threats," the letter reads. "All threats are taken seriously, investigated completely and addressed through the student code of conduct as well as through law enforcement."
In response, the KISD Police Department and the Harris County Precinct 4 constable will continue to be highly visible on the KCHS campus to ensure the safety of students and staff. Additionally, KCHS students will not be permitted to bring backpacks on campus for the remainder of the fall semester; students may bring their laptop and small clutch bags to campus.
"As our students continue to comply with the safety measures we have in place, we will further communicate when students will be able to return with backpacks," the letter reads.
Additionally, the district will have canine detection services on campus to conduct random searches of vehicles and campus areas for added protection of student and staff safety.
