DALLAS — Dallas ISD is stepping up their safety protocols to keep the community safe following a deadly shooting and multiple arrests for threats against schools in North Texas.
This week, the district shifted the times and locations of several sports games and increased security at these events. Fans and families welcomed the changes, particularly during the long-standing South Dallas rivalry game between Lincoln High School and James Madison High School.
“South Dallas showed up on both sides and I think it’s a great thing,” said Carvell Dangerfield, a teacher at Madison High School.
Initially scheduled for 6 p.m. on Saturday at Kincaide Stadium, the game was moved to Saturday morning at Forester Stadium to ensure safety due to concerns about potential violence. Last Friday, David Washington , a 17-year-old Kimball High School student, was shot and killed following the South Oak Cliff vs. Duncanville football game at Kincaide Stadium. A 16-year-old has been charged with his murder .
