As a part of this initiation process, Chilton ISD will take students to Amazon (AUS3), Fallas, and TSTC. These are photos of Chilton ISD students after touring the Waco Amazon facility.
Pirate Family,
A shelter command has been initiated. There is no direct or internal threat at this time. However, there was a report of a former student behaving uncharacteristically and in a threatening manner toward students as they walked to school. Falls County has been notified.
Currently, classroom instruction should continue as planned with classroom doors closed and locked. Administration is checking and confirming that all exterior and portable doors are closed. No one should eat outside or use playground at this time. Elementary passage to cafeteria should occur using inside hallways only. Outside individuals should only be allowed in the building when verified by an administrator.
Thanks for taking these precautions.

Today, Chilton ISD joined a group of 250 school districts and education organizations in asking the Texas Education Agency to pause its planned “refresh” of the A-F Accountability System which would retroactively increase the bar for College, Career and Military Readiness by 47%. We urge the legislature to intervene and ensure the elected representatives of the people evaluate the accountability system holistically to improve how we measure success and communicate school performance to families.
