A full-scale emergency response training exercise will take place at Jackie Caffey Jr. High, Meridiana Elementary, and the Alvin ISD Heritage Complex on Wednesday, June 17, 2026. Alvin ISD is collaborating with the Brazoria County Sheriff's Office as part of ongoing school safety and emergency preparedness efforts aligned with Texas House Bill 33 (the Uvalde Strong Act) and ongoing Texas school safety preparedness requirements.
Community members in the area may notice an increased presence of law enforcement, emergency vehicles, first responders, and possibly a Life Flight helicopter participating in the exercise. There may also be loud noises associated with the training scenario, including sirens, helicopter activity, and simulated gunfire of blank rounds. Please be aware that this is only a training exercise.
The exercise will take place throughout the morning and into the early afternoon on June 17. During this time, roadways surrounding Caffey Jr. High, Meridiana, and Heritage Complex will be closed to regular traffic and activities. Following the exercise, student and staff volunteers participating in the scenario will be bused under police escort to another site as part of the training exercise to practice reunification procedures.
Our district is serving as the host site for this county-coordinated training exercise. Thank you for your understanding and support as local agencies and school districts work together to strengthen coordination and working relationships among our responding partners.
