Dear Parent or Guardian:
Texas law now requires school districts to distribute information to parents and guardians about the safe storage of firearms. The attached information will help you learn about options for, as well as how to talk to your child and others about, the safe storage of firearms.
In 2021, 4,613 Texans experienced gun-related deaths. The Texas Department of State Health Services (SHS) reports that 55% of Texas firearms deaths in 2020 were suicides and that 59% of all suicides in Texas were by firearms. Suicide attempts involving firearms have a 90% fatality rate. Restricting access to guns is critical in reducing acts of violence, whether as self-harm or towards others. Acts of mass violence and interpersonal violence often end in suicide.
It is unlawful to store, transport, or abandon an unsecured firearm in a place where children are likely to be and can obtain access to the firearm. Under Texas Penal Code 46.13, a person commits the offense of making a firearm accessible to a child if the child gains access to a readily dischargeable firearm, and the person with criminal negligence:
Failed to secure the firearm; or
Left the firearm in a place to which the person knew or should have known the child would gain access
The penalty for allowing a child access to a firearm can range from a Class C misdemeanor (punishable by a $500 fine) to a Class A misdemeanor (punishable by a $4000 fine, a year in jail, or a combination of the two).
Texas exempts the purchase of firearm safety equipment from Texas Sales and Use Tax.
Remember, a gun should be stored unloaded in a safe or locked container, with ammunition stored elsewhere. You can learn more and find additional resources from the Texas Department of Public Safety at https://safegunstoragetexas.com.
Safe gun storage is critical to preventing suicide, unintentional shootings, and other tragedies.
Sincerely,
DISD

🚌 SPECIAL SHOUTOUT TO OUR TRANSPORTATION TEAM!🚌
It takes a dedicated, hard-working crew to keep Dumas ISD moving, and our bus drivers and transportation staff show up every single day to make sure our students arrive safe, smiling, and ready to learn!
Every day, this amazing team goes above and beyond:
- Safely transporting roughly 1,000 students to and from school daily.
- Driving daytime field trips to give our students hands-on learning experiences outside the classroom.
- Shuttling high school students back and forth to the stadium for games, practices, and events.
- Running early and late athletic buses so our student-athletes living in Cactus can participate without missing a beat.
Making sure every bus runs smoothly takes a total team effort, so we also want to give a massive thank you to:
🔧 Our Maintenance Crew: For keeping our fleet in top shape so buses stay safe and the wheels keep turning.
🧹 Our Cleaning Staff: For making sure every bus is sanitized, tidy, and welcoming for our kids.
📋 Our Route Coordinators & Dispatchers: For organizing the complex web of drivers, schedules, and daily routes.
📸 P.S. The pictures below feature just a few of our wonderful drivers—many of our team members were already out on their routes doing what they do best when these photos were taken!

⭐️ A Huge Thank You to Our Amazing Team! ⭐️
While we are beyond grateful for the much-needed rain, we are even more thankful for our incredible custodial and maintenance staff!
Late last night, when flooding hit our schools, this dedicated crew came together, rolled up their sleeves and worked late into the night to clear out the water and clean up the damage. Thanks to their fast action and tireless hard work, our doors were open and ready for our students safely this morning!
Next time you see a member of our custodial or maintenance team, please join us in giving them a massive THANK YOU for everything they do for Dumas ISD! 👏
