To inform the local community, Crandall Independent School District (ISD) shared a notice on social media regarding the helicopter's arrival near the baseball fields, which was essential for the student’s transport. The district also acknowledged that the sight of emergency vehicles and the helicopter might cause concern among families and aimed to keep them informed about the situation.
