GO WILDCATS!

The first of two School Safety Forums was held this week to discuss PISD’s #1 Goal for 2018 - the safety of students and staff. Mr. Marshall informed parents and community members of the district’s current safety measures in place, discussed the state of school safety across the country, and took input from the group on future safety measures. The next forum will be held on Monday, April 2nd at 5:30 pm in the PHS cafeteria. Please take this opportunity to provide input into the safety and security of Palestine ISD.
