School and Student Safety is Highest Priority
The Dallas County R-I School District considers threats to students and school safety the highest priority.  If you have information regarding a school safety issue you should contact an administrator in the appropriate building. If school is not in session, you should contact law enforcement officials. When the district receives information regarding possible safety threats, we will act swiftly with the assistance of the Dallas County Sheriff's Office and/or the Buffalo Police Department to identify and investigate the viability of the threat.  The school district will never release any individually identifiable information regarding a student or a student situation because the district is prohibited by law from releasing student information.  Students or other individuals who make verified threats to school safety will be prohibited from being on or near school property and the district will press charges to the greatest extent possible.
