Good Morning, Just wanted to let every everyone know that the school phones are down at the schools. We are working on it and they should be back up soon.
Law enforcement has released students from the hold position on both the High School and Junior High Campus. The High School has been released from lunch. We have adjusted the schedule to allow everyone an opportunity to have lunch.
If you choose to check your students out and keep them at home today you are more than welcome to do so. This will not count against them in regards to absences for semester tests.
We sincerely appreciate your patience and understand your concerns. Our number one responsibility is keeping your children safe at all times.
When law enforcement has completed their investigation DISD will make a media release and update everyone.
Today at 11:45 the Dalhart PD received notification from a tip reporting agency that a student brought a firearm to school today.
At the request of law enforcement we went into a holding pattern to make certain that our students were safe. At this time there is no creditable threat. At the request of law enforcement we will remain in a holding pattern to assure everyone’s safety. As soon as we are allowed to remove the students from a holding pattern we will do so. As soon as we have the authority to release more information we will do so.

Texas Ed. Code 37.113, Notice to Parents of Dalhart ISD Re. Threatening Statement
We are notifying you that during class today, September 28, 2023, a junior high student made a statement that could be considered a threat to do harm to the school. Upon learning of this possible threat, school administration informed the Dalhart Police Department and convened the District’s Threat Assessment and Safe and Supportive School Team. The administration, in cooperation with law enforcement and after consultation with the Threat Assessment and Safe and Supportive School Team, determined no imminent threat to students or staff exists. The police will determine if any criminal enforcement action is warranted. The District will pursue appropriate disciplinary action in accordance with the District’s student code of conduct if a student has engaged in any misconduct involving a threat.
Dalhart ISD administration places student safety as a top priority and will always consider a threat to be credible until determined to be otherwise. We will continue to work diligently to keep your students and our staff safe from harm.
Sincerely Jeff Byrd.
