Klein Forest High School Normal Operations - May 20, 2026

Update #4 - 10:35 AM

All students and staff are safe, and Klein Forest High School is transitioning back to normal operations.

Earlier this morning, the campus responded to a report of a person holding a weapon inside the school. The campus was immediately placed on lockdown, Klein Police immediately took action, and we followed all established safety procedures.

This report was fully investigated and determined by law enforcement to be false.

During the incident, we also received reports of a person at a nearby restaurant who matched the description of the individual in the initial report. Klein ISD Police investigated that report as well, and it was determined to be false.

The entire building has been checked, every floor has been cleared, and all students and staff remain safe.

Our established safety protocols worked exactly as they were designed to work, and we are grateful to our students, staff, Klein ISD Police, and law enforcement partners for their quick and coordinated response.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we worked to ensure the safety of everyone on campus.

Sincerely,

Klein ISD
