There are good controls through sign in and badges for students and adults. The safety and security at Smith Middle school is poor. At high school there are 4 police officers from Killeen Police Department assigned to the school. Students shouldn't be allowed to go off campus for lunch. KISD is looking at bringing a food court on school property for high school and middle school students.
Some high schools use metal detectors.
There is a major gang problem. The Army Family Action Plan Symposium is a good safety feature. There is little adult supervision of students at Smith Middle School, which is very unusual. Students are not allowed to loiter during or after extracurricular activities. KISD needs a twice a year event for parents to meet all the teachers in the school.
