Dear La Joya ISD Parents,
In light of recent threats made against our schools, we want to inform you that three La Joya ISD students have been arrested, transported to Hidalgo County Juvenile Detention Center and are now facing serious charges, including making false alarm and terroristic threats. These student arrests follow a thorough investigation in partnership with local law enforcement. Additionally, our La Joya ISD Police Chief, along with other law enforcement agencies and local ISD police departments, attended a press conference to address these threats and reinforce our commitment to safety.
At La Joya ISD, we have a strict zero-tolerance policy when it comes to threats—whether made as a joke or with harmful intent. The safety of our students and staff is our top priority, and we will continue to take every necessary step to ensure a secure learning environment.
We encourage you to have conversations with your children about the serious consequences of making or sharing threatening messages, especially on social media. Even if a threat is meant in jest, it will be treated with the utmost seriousness, and legal consequences will follow.
La Joya ISD has strong safety protocols in place, including regular safety drills and increased security measures. We ask for your continued partnership in reminding students of the importance of online responsibility and reporting any unusual behavior to school officials or law enforcement.
Thank you for your ongoing support in helping us keep our schools safe.
******************************************************************
Estimados padres de La Joya ISD,
En vista de las recientes amenazas contra nuestras escuelas, queremos informarle que tres estudiantes de La Joya ISD han sido arrestados, trasladados al Centro de Detención Juvenil del Condado de Hidalgo y ahora enfrentan cargos graves, que incluyen realizar falsas alarmas y amenazas terroristas. Estos arrestos de estudiantes se producen tras una investigación exhaustiva en colaboración con las fuerzas del orden locales. Además, nuestro jefe de policía de La Joya ISD, junto con otras agencias de aplicación de la ley y departamentos de policía locales de ISD, asistieron a una conferencia de prensa para abordar estas amenazas y reforzar nuestro compromiso con la seguridad.
En La Joya ISD, tenemos una estricta política de tolerancia cero cuando se trata de amenazas, ya sea que se hagan en broma o con intenciones dañinas. La seguridad de nuestros estudiantes y personal es nuestra máxima prioridad y continuaremos tomando todas las medidas necesarias para garantizar un entorno de aprendizaje seguro.
Los alentamos a que conversen con sus hijos sobre las graves consecuencias de hacer o compartir mensajes amenazantes, especialmente en las redes sociales. Incluso si una amenaza es en broma, se tratará con la mayor seriedad y se aplicarán consecuencias legales.
La Joya ISD cuenta con sólidos protocolos de seguridad, que incluyen simulacros de seguridad regulares y mayores medidas de seguridad. Les pedimos que sigan colaborando para recordarles a los estudiantes la importancia de la responsabilidad en línea y denunciar cualquier comportamiento inusual a los funcionarios escolares o las fuerzas del orden.
Gracias por su continuo apoyo para ayudarnos a mantener nuestras escuelas seguras.
Dr. Marcey Sorensen
Superintendent of Schools
