Parents, Family & Friends of Italy ISD,

The following information is being provided to clear up any confusion and ease concerns about information that has surfaced on social media.

Many posts claim that an unidentified man was at the high school campus and in the classrooms during the school day without the school taking action.

The facts are that an Italy High School student planned and initiated a prank by bringing a high school aged friend to the campus. The unidentified teenager was on campus for about 1.5 hours in the morning and then about 1.5 hours in the afternoon.

The two provided false information to teachers to coerce permission into the classes. This incident has been investigated by Italy ISD Administration and reported to Italy PD. The Italy students involved have received appropriate consequences. Their parents have been notified.

Italy PD is working with us to find the teenager who is not an Italy ISD student.

Administration has reviewed safety procedures with the staff and additional measures are in place to help prevent this type of incident.

We take seriously our responsibility to care for the students of Italy ISD and will continue to work to provide a safe learning environment.

Please contact Mr. Joffre at [email protected] or 972-483-7411 if you have any questions or concerns.
