Safety is our top priority.

This edition of Inspire celebrates what’s possible across SBISD, from our commitment to safe, supportive schools and strong academic achievement to the staff and alumni whose stories reflect the opportunities and experiences that make our community special.

We’re also sharing important information about school safety, prevention and student supports, while celebrating the people, progress and achievements that help Every Child learn, grow and thrive!

Let's Talk: Safety

We’re excited to share the first episode of our new vlog, Let’s Talk: Conversations with Dr. Blaine. Each month, Superintendent of Schools Jennifer Blaine will sit down with district leaders to explore topics that matter to SBISD families. In this episode, Dr. Blaine discusses school safety and student supports with SBISD Chief of Police Larry Baimbridge and Executive Director Tyra Walker. Together, they discuss how SBISD works to keep students safe, supported and connected and the important role we all play in creating safe schools.

School safety is a partnership.

Gun safety tips

In this important message, SBISD Chief of Police Larry Baimbridge shares three key gun safety tips every family should discuss with their child.

With real firearms and toy or replica guns increasingly difficult to tell apart, awareness and good decision-making are critical.

Watch the video, then make time to talk with your child.

A simple conversation can help prevent a tragedy.

Behind the Badge

Keeping schools safe takes preparation, partnership and strong relationships. It also takes dedicated people who know our schools, build trust with students and are ready to respond when needed.

At Spring Branch Middle School (SBMS), Dr. Blaine visited with SBISD Police Officers Nancy Avila and Rigoberto Hernandez, along with K-9 Wat, to go behind the badge and learn more about their work, their connection with students and the important role they play in keeping SBISD schools safe every day.

Watch the conversation and read their full story.
