Superintendent Millard House II, HISD police officers and board members at Wednesday's press conference.One day after the tragedy that unfolded in an Uvalde elementary school where at least 19 youngsters and two teachers were killed and several others injured, Houston ISD Superintendent Millard House II called a noon press conference Wednesday to address safety and parents' fears.

"Many of you have the thought of keeping your children home because of the most recent issues in Uvalde and at Robb Elementary, which is completely understandable," House said. He pointed out that as superintendent, he's charged with caring for the students in the whole district and its operations. HISD uses the Sandy Hook Say Something App, House said, which allows for the anonymous reporting of tips and counselors in 26 different languages. He said the app has three components: How to look for warning signs of threats, how to act immediately and how to tell a trusted adult about those concerns. Crisis counselors are also available to talk and to answer any follow up questions.
