SAFETY & SECURITY

La Porte placed student and staff safety as the number one priority of the district. LPISD practices and models the Standard Response Protocol regarding crisis protocol and drill practice. Additionally, the district has implemented a silent panic system that can be accessed on any phone in the district. When this system is initiated, district administration and local police departments will receive notification to respond.
