The safety of students, school district personnel, and physical assets are of vital concern to school districts and their patrons. A good safety and security program provides for a balanced approach of prevention, intervention and enforcement. Proper safeguards must be in place, which include hardware and equipment, security personnel, and plans for preventative measures to deter crime. (Texas School Performance Review, www.window.state.tx.us/tspr/protocol/safe.html)

  • Lovejoy secondary schools will have no police force in Lucas, Collin County patrols 848 square miles and has said response time would be slower than Allen's. Lovejoy has not contacted the Sheriffs' department to discuss safety of our children and sheriff department response time. (Lt. Smart at Collin County Sheriff's Office)

  • AllenISD has police on campus that are national award winning Student Resource Officers. Allen has a security center with cameras monitoring all activity on campus.

  • While the Lucas volunteer fire department does an excellent job given available resources, response times depend on volunteer availability. Most volunteers have 8-5 jobs, the same time our kids are in school. Lucas fire department volunteers donate their time and are willing to risk their lives for the Lucas community. They are NOT getting paid. These are dads and moms who have families and most have full time jobs. Is it fair to ask them to do more? Lucas residents also donate money to support our volunteer fire department. Will we be forced to hire a paid fire department?
    Who will foot the bill?

  • Allen has a paid and fully staffed fire department on call 24 hours a day.

  • Please ask your board for a security plan. How will it be financed? Will Lucas City taxpayers foot the bill?

  • Will kids with discipline problems be housed with the rest of the kids in Lovejoy secondary school? Allen has the Dillard center to separate discipline problem kids.

  • With only 512 parking spaces will patrons be forced to park along 2170 endangering themselves and travelers?
