College Station ISD is investigating with police after staff at three neighboring campuses saw an unidentified person walk up and take pictures of the outside of their school buildings on Tuesday afternoon, according to a notice the district sent families Wednesday and published by KBTX.

The campuses are Oakwood Intermediate School, A&M Consolidated Middle School and College View High School, which sit close together near George Bush Drive and Holik Street.

According to the letter, the person left Holik Street quickly after taking the photos, and staff passed the report straight to administrators at all three schools. The district then alerted the school resource deputies assigned to A&M Consolidated Middle and College View High, along with the College Station Police Department.

The notice says CSPD has kept a presence on Holik Street since the report, and that the district is working with the deputies and city police to look into what happened. The letter does not describe the person, say whether anyone has been identified, or suggest any threat was made, and no arrest or charge has been reported.

"We take all reports of suspicious activity seriously and work with law enforcement to investigate and take appropriate action," the three principals, Rocco Grande of Oakwood, Omar Espitia of A&M Consolidated Middle and Joanna Slaton of College View, wrote in the message as quoted by KBTX.

How to report a concern

The district is asking students, staff and parents to bring any safety worries to campus administrators. Reports can also be made anonymously through the P3 reporting platform linked on the home page of the College Station ISD website.
