Waxahachie Independent School District prioritizes the safety and security of all students, staff, visitors, and facilities. WISD maintains an excellent working relationship with the Waxahachie Police Department and employs School Resource Officers and security officers at each campus. The crisis management team develops a comprehensive Crisis Management Plan, which is reviewed annually and serves as a guide for responses to emergent situations. Throughout the school year, campuses conduct various emergency drills, including fire drills, severe weather drills, and intruder drills, to ensure that students and staff are prepared for any emergency.
