At Italy ISD, safety is always top priority for our students, staff and community. As an added protection, Italy ISD has partnered with Perry Weather to begin using a lightning and temperature monitoring system located at the Italy ISD football stadium. It will also monitor our baseball and softball fields. The system will automatically notify Italy ISD, Italy High School administration and Stafford Elementary administration of impending weather risks within 10 miles of our community. For a lightning strike detected within 10 miles of the stadium, the district and surrounding community will hear a siren, followed by a verbal message to move inside of a building. During outdoor Italy ISD events, practices and competitions, the system will automatically begin a 30 minute countdown. If no other lightning is detected within 10 miles in those 30 minutes, we will hear a message that the event may now continue. For community members it means lightning is not detected within 10 miles of Italy. For Italy ISD events occurring in excessive high temperatures, a siren will sound followed by a message for athletes to leave the competition field. The system will only be active during certain times of each day, and only when students, staff or community members are present for a regular school day or a school event. This system is not an outdoor warning siren for a tornadic event. Italy ISD wants you to be aware of the new alarms and what they mean as we continue to find ways to keep each other safe.
