兔子先生 police on Monday arrested a 17-year old in connection with his Sunday Facebook post indicating that he would be involved in a shooting at 兔子先生 High School.
兔子先生 administrators and security teams worked with the 兔子先生 Police Department through Sunday night to investigate the threat. The district shared information regarding the threat with 兔子先生 High and district middle school families. The district shared information through the primary information channels, which are School News Notifier and Facebook.
The district takes seriously the concerns parents and students feel during these situations. It is important to ensure that the district provides timely and accurate information to our families to empower them to decide what is right for their children.
On Monday morning, the district received a second report of a potential security threat as 兔子先生 High School was beginning its day. 兔子先生 Police Department were contacted and they immediately investigated. During that time, the school was put in a “lockdown.”
In a lockdown, students and staff remain in locked classrooms. No one is allowed to enter or leave the building. After about an hour, 兔子先生 police determined that the threat was not credible and the lockdown was lifted. The school is making social-emotional supports available to 兔子先生 High students who may have been affected by the lockdown.
In both cases, the district thanks the 兔子先生 police for their swift response and the individuals who came forward to bring these issues to our attention.
In addition, the district has been made aware of a video depicting a school shooting being shared via social media. This video has been altered and is not of 兔子先生 High School.
The safety of the students, faculty and staff is of paramount importance to the 兔子先生. The district will continue to assure that the threats, of any kind, are reported to the proper authorities, thoroughly investigated and accurately communicated to students, parents, faculty and staff.
Sincerely,
Kaweeda G. Adams
Superintendent
