Last Thursday, a 16 year-old DRHS student walked onto the Del Rio Middle School campus at the start of the school day. The student, who blended-in with other students, hid in one of the school’s restrooms but was detected during the first passing period and subsequently detained by a DRMS teacher. Campus administration and school officers immediately assessed the issue and determined that there was no immediate threat to the campus. However, appropriate disciplinary action was taken to address trespassing.

Since this incident, the District has worked with DRMS to implement added security measures to prevent unauthorized access to the campus. These measures include ensuring the assigned law enforcement officer remains at the single point of entry, continuous sweeping of perimeter, grounds, and checking of all restrooms. Additionally, a perimeter fence was completed on Friday, September 6 to ensure compliance with the single point entry.
