Humble ISD parents concerned about halfway house located near student’s new agricultural center

They say they received a letter from the school district saying the new North AG Center is next to what is now a halfway house.

At that time, the school district says it didn’t know what the building was going to be used for. According to Montgomery County, a registered sex offender is not required to notify anyone unless there is a school in close proximity and they are in the “high risk” category. This particular sex offender is a moderate risk.She has been raising animals for 4H and FAA for years and is thrilled to raise more this school year in a brand new facility.

“This is what she loves [and] I’m not about to take that away from her,” said Sokol. “We were OK with it. We were cautious but not fearful. She knew she had a job, and we knew we raised her right.”“I’m really upset and really angry, and it makes me sick especially for our kids,” explained Humble ISD parent Larissa Powell.“They should have done it when they were notified in June,” noted Powell. “They should have had an increased police force out there they should have just jumped into action.

Powell is the one who brought it to the school district’s attention earlier this summer. She is a part of the Community Crime Protection Program for the neighborhood across the street from the Ag Center. They do an annual search of sex offenders to see who has relocated into the area. It is also implementing more safety measures including a perimeter fence with a badge reader, security cameras, parking lot lighting, and an alarm system.

Halfway Houses are nothing but a complete FAIL. The lousey court system sends some of the most vile pieces of it to those places. You don't want'em in your neighborhood. If one does pop-up, buy guns and ammo, and stay alert.
