Overview

"Be Nice, Check It Twice" and "Stop the Prop":  Godley ISD emphasizes the need for all personnel to ensure that all exterior doors are secure after exiting. Staff and students should never prop open exterior doors for any reason.

Exterior Door Sweeps and Audits:  District and campus staff regularly monitor all exterior doors to ensure that they are secure. State auditors conduct unannounced visits to monitor regulations.

Fast Pass:  The Godley ISD Fast Pass is designed to streamline the check-in process for parents and guardians visiting our campuses. When you are coming for a mass check-in event, the Fast Pass will make your experience quick and efficient, while enhancing the safety of our students and schools.

Godley ISD Police Department:  A school police department was certified by the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) in 2023. With a growing school district, a police department provides focused attention on the safety and security of students, staff and visitors to campuses and other district facilities.

SchoolGuard:  For quick response in the event of an armed intruder or active shooter, this mobile panic button speed dials 9-1-1, notifies both on and off duty law enforcement officers within a close proximity and creates a direct link between the staff member and law enforcement.

School Guardians:  This program provides added security for students, teachers and staff to have a safe learning environment. Guardians are staff members who volunteer and undergo training and other requirements in order to carry a weapon on campus. In order to protect these individuals, their identities are kept confidential.

Standard Response Protocol:  Godley ISD uses this nationally-recognized, proven methodology that ensures a uniform response by faculty, staff and students to school-based emergencies.

StayALERT:  This system enables students to anonymously report bullying, behavioral or safety concerns through mobile or web-based apps. Campus administrators can quickly and efficiently manage and investigate incident reports.

Verkdada Visitor Check-in System:  All campus visitors must check in at the campus office using a Verkada kiosk that securely verifies their information by scanning their driver's license or state identification and printing a visitor badge. The system confirms that the individual is not on a list of registered sex offenders. A new FAST PASS helps ease the check-in process for regular visitors while still undergoing background reviews.

Window Film:  The district installed shatter-resistant safety and security film on outside windows.
