The Early ISD and Early Police Department issued the following press release regarding an incident that took pace Tuesday evening:

On May 16 at approximately 5:50 p.m., school officials were notified that a gun had allegedly been brought on our elementary campus by a student. Immediately upon receiving this news the Early Police Department was notified and has been working hand in hand with school administration to properly investigate the allegations. After interviews with staff, students, and parents, school administration and Early PD feel there is no active threat to students or staff on any campus. We will diligently continue to monitor this situation, as well as any others, together to ensure the safety and security of all our students and staff.

We appreciate the due diligence of our Early ISD family in their notification, cooperation and collaboration to ensure the safety and security of all.
