Henderson ISD plans full-scale safety exercise for next week

Next week, Henderson ISD will conduct a full-scale reunification exercise involving students and staff from Wylie Primary and Wylie Elementary schools, along with district personnel and local emergency responders. There is no emergency associated with this exercise. We are practicing so that if the day ever comes when we need these procedures, our people and our partners are ready. Reunification is the process we would use to safely bring students and their families back together if an emergency required us to evacuate a school and move students to another location. Texas schools are required to plan and practice for emergencies, including evacuation, and to include reunification as part of their emergency operations plans. This exercise helps us meet those responsibilities while giving our staff and community partners an opportunity to practice the entire process together.
