Since the start of the 2022-2023 school year, Ector County ISD has reported five incidents that resulted in the arrest of five students. 

On Aug. 24 ECISD reported two incidents. A seventh-grade student at Crockett Middle School was charged by Ector County ISD police after he allegedly made a statement about “getting a gun and shooting kids.”

That same day ECISD police investigated a fight between two Odessa High School students, one of whom was stabbed during the altercation. The student who was stabbed was transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

On Sept. 9 an eighth-grade student at Bowie Middle School was arrested after assaulting a teacher. The incident captured on video and shared on social media shows the student arguing with the teacher about his cell phone. 

On Sept. 14 a fifth-grade student at Ross Elementary was arrested after making threats against the school.

On Sept. 20 an eighth-grade student at Nimitz Middle School was arrested Tuesday for threatening to shoot a teacher. The student threatened the teacher for stepping in between two students who were arguing with each other.

The district reported three separate incidents on Sept. 21. An Odessa High School sophomore was arrested on an aggravated assault with a deadly weapon charge. Ector County ISD also reported that two OHS students were involved in a fight before school started. One of the students pulled a knife causing minor injuries to the second student.

A fifth-grade student at Ireland Elementary was charged by ECISD police after “she pointed at students in her class, as if she had a gun, telling them she would bring a gun to school and shoot them,” according to a press release. Her teacher was alerted by fellow students and was reported immediately.  A sixth-grade student at Nimitz Middle School was also arrested after telling his friends he was “planning to shoot up the school tomorrow.” 

The district in a Sept. 20 press release stated, “our district takes all threats very seriously, investigates them fully and will file charges against those who make such threats. Working together, schools and parents can curb this type of behavior.”

They also encouraged ECISD parents to have conversations with their children to help the “understand that reacting in anger, violence and making threats against others will lead to serious consequences.”
