Key takeaway The district has announced plans to add impact-resistant window film to windows on the south side of Barksdale Middle School.
Northwest ISD is taking steps to address concerns about bullets found at a Northlake middle school. The district has announced plans to add impact-resistant window film to windows on the south side of Barksdale Middle School. This move is in response to the discovery of two bullets at the school between May and July 2026.
The addition of window film is intended to provide extra protection for students. While Texas law requires certain windows in schools to have impact-resistant material, the district typically does not disclose which windows meet this standard. Further details about the incident and the district's response are available from Northwest ISD.
