Emergency Drills to be Held at Brownwood ISD Schools

In order to maintain a safe environment for our children to study and learn, it is necessary that Brownwood Independent School District (BISD) practice emergency response procedures by utilizing drills designed to exercise the plans and protocols.

Monday, November 2 through Friday, November 6, 2026, BISD will be conducting campus evacuation drills for every campus within the district. During the evacuation drills, students will be safely escorted along a designated evacuation route to one of our pre-determined evacuation sites. At the conclusion of the drill, all students will be escorted back to the school. Staff in safety vests may be seen in the neighborhoods as well as a few emergency vehicles near and around different campuses.

After school pick-up and transportation procedures for students will not be affected by these drills.

In addition, BISD will be holding campus walkthroughs with first responders on November 16-18. During this time the public can expect to see various emergency vehicles parked at campuses.

The safety of our students and staff is the top priority at BISD. To ensure a secure learning environment, the district conducts a variety of state-mandated emergency drills regularly throughout the school year.
