Today, Broaddus ISD experienced an unintended activation of the district’s emergency lockdown system. An emergency lockdown key fob was found at the high school and inadvertently used on a security keypad, activating the lockdown system.
At no time was there an actual emergency or threat to our students, staff, or campus. District administration and law enforcement personnel were notified, the situation was quickly assessed, and the lockdown was promptly cleared once it was determined that there was no threat.
We understand that an unexpected lockdown notification can cause concern for our families and community. The safety and security of our students and staff remains our highest priority. We appreciate everyone’s patience and cooperation as we continue to review the incident and ensure our emergency procedures and security systems are functioning as intended.
Thank you for your continued support of Broaddus ISD.
Dear Parents,
Broaddus ISD has some exciting news to announce. We are very close to enabling our messaging app. Currently. invites are planned to be sent out this afternoon around 3-5pm (assuming no issues prevent it). The invite should go out as a text message. This is just to give a heads up to be looking out for text message inviting you to the app. It goes by a few names: Apptegy, Rooms, or Connect but you'll access it via the same Broaddus ISD app we've always had. Links to our school app (if you don't already have it) can be at the bottom of our website at https://www.broaddusisd.com/.
Info you can reference when it goes live this afternoon:
