Current Safety Enhancements
At Manor Senior High School, Manor Early College High School, and Manor High School, we’ve strengthened safety with:
- Increased Security: More administrators and law enforcement officers on campuses.
- Restroom Procedures: New guidelines to prevent overcrowding.
- Controlled Entry Points: Designated entrances for each school and tailored security for extracurricular arrivals.
- Arrival Check-Ins: Students greeted at the door with metal-detecting wands and bag checks as needed.
- Parking Lot Monitoring: Unauthorized vehicles are towed to ensure campus security.
These steps reflect our dedication to providing a safe and secure environment for all.
Moving Safety Forward
Safety Survey
We recently invited our community to share their thoughts through a safety survey, asking what makes them feel secure and what improvements they’d like to see. Below, you’ll find a summary of the survey results, highlighting the priorities and ideas shared by our students, families, and staff.
Community Safety Meetings
On November 28 and December 4, Manor ISD hosted community safety meetings to engage directly with our students, families, and staff. These meetings provided an opportunity to share the safety measures currently in place across our campuses and to hear from the community about what they value most and what they hope to see in the future.
