ECISD wants us to know that a Secure Lock Out is a precaution they take when something is happening near the school. In Secure Lock Out students or staff members who are outside are brought back inside, entrances are monitored, and no one is allowed in or out until the situation is all clear. Inside the building, classes and activities go on as usual.
