September 16, 2024 Dear La Joya ISD Parents, In light of recent threats made against our schools, we want to inform you that three La Joya ISD students have been arrested, transported to Hidalgo County Juvenile Detention Center and are now facing serious charges, including making false alarm and terroristic threats. These student arrests follow a thorough investigation in partnership with local law enforcement. Additionally, our La Joya ISD Police Chief, along with other law enforcement agencies and local ISD police departments, attended a press conference to address these threats and reinforce our commitment to safety. At La Joya ISD, we have a strict zero-tolerance policy when it comes to threats—whether made as a joke or with harmful intent. The safety of our students and staff is our top priority, and we will continue to take every necessary step to ensure a secure learning environment. We encourage you to have conversations with your children about the serious consequences of making or sharing threatening messages, especially on social media. Even if a threat is meant in jest, it will be treated with the utmost seriousness, and legal consequences will follow. La Joya ISD has strong safety protocols in place, including regular safety drills and increased security measures. We ask for your continued partnership in reminding students of the importance of online responsibility and reporting any unusual behavior to school officials or law enforcement. Thank you for your ongoing support in helping us keep our schools safe. ****************************************************************** Estimados padres de La Joya ISD, En vista de las recientes amenazas contra nuestras escuelas, queremos informarle que tres estudiantes de La Joya ISD han sido arrestados, trasladados al Centro de Detención Juvenil del Condado de Hidalgo y ahora enfrentan cargos graves, que incluyen realizar falsas alarmas y amenazas terroristas.

September 12, 2024 Dear La Joya ISD Parents and Guardians, In response to recent false threats made against our schools, thorough investigations have led to three arrests. These individuals are facing a variety of legal charges, including and up to a felony charge. We are sharing this information with you to let you know that we are taking each of these false threats seriously and want our parents and community to know that although none of these have resulted in any safety issues to our students, staff, or campuses, false threats will not be tolerated in our District. We also ask that you remind your children not to forward or spread any threatening messages. Instead, they should report such matters directly to a campus administrator or to our Anonymous Alerts reporting system. Individuals involved in creating or sharing threats will continue to face serious legal and administrative consequences. Again, we want all of our students and parents to understand that we seek to create a safe and secure learning environment for all of our students and staff which is why we cannot tolerate false threats of any kind in La Joya ISD. Our district has thorough safety protocols in place and we will continue to treat every threat with the utmost seriousness.

Nuevamente, queremos que todos nuestros estudiantes y padres comprendan que buscamos crear un entorno de aprendizaje seguro para todos nuestros estudiantes y personal, por lo que no podemos tolerar amenazas falsas de ningún tipo en La Joya ISD.
