Nothing is more important to Lufkin ISD than the safety of our students, staff, and guests. As part of our continued commitment to strengthen campus security, we are introducing the Evolv Express Weapons Detection system in a live demonstration at our upcoming LHS Panther basketball games, on November 18th at the PAC. This updated screening process is designed to provide a smoother, quicker, and more welcoming entry experience while supporting our overall safety efforts. Experience fast, touchless screening as you enter the LHS Panther basketball games!
THINGS TO KNOW:
• You can walk through at your normal pace — the system is designed to keep lines moving quickly.
• You can keep most everyday items, like keys and cell phones, in your pockets without any issues.
• Some items, such as umbrellas, eyeglass cases, laptops, steel-toed boots, or stadium chairs, might trigger an alert. If that happens, a quick secondary check will clear you and you’ll be on your way.
• As a reminder, federal law (Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990) prohibits weapons on school property.
• The system is completely safe for anyone with a pacemaker and for pregnant individuals.
Thank you for your cooperation and support as we work together to keep our campuses safe.
