On June 3, the Cy-Fair Independent School District (CFISD) will conduct a comprehensive safety exercise at Rowe Middle School and the Berry Center. This initiative, known as the Response to Emergency Threat Crisis & Tactical Reunification (REACT-R) exercise, aims to test the readiness and coordination of local first responders and the CFISD police department in the event of an active campus threat.

Focus on Safety and Coordination

The REACT-R exercise will concentrate on several critical areas, including emergency procedures, interagency coordination, and student reunification processes. These elements are essential to ensure that all involved parties can effectively respond to potential threats and safeguard the well-being of students and staff.

CFISD has requested that citizens avoid the properties during the exercise to allow for an uninterrupted and realistic simulation. This exercise underscores the district’s commitment to the safety and security of its students and staff, aligning with broader community values that prioritize the protection of families and children.

Community Involvement and Awareness

By involving local first responders and the CFISD emergency management department, the exercise not only enhances the district’s preparedness but also strengthens community ties. Such collaborations are vital in fostering a secure environment where families can feel confident in the safety measures in place at local schools.

As the exercise unfolds, it serves as a reminder of the importance of preparedness and the role that coordinated efforts play in maintaining a safe educational environment. The community’s support and understanding during this exercise are crucial components of its success.
