Dear MCS Families,
As you may be aware there is an anonymous, general threat being shared via TikTok/Social Media against schools in the United States regarding tomorrow, December 17, 2021.
Mineral County Schools, our School Resource Officers, and law enforcement agencies take all threats very seriously. When learning of this viral threat today, we immediately investigated and have not found any valid or supporting evidence that this threat is credible to Mineral County Schools.
You may still see an increase in police presence on school campuses tomorrow as our law enforcement partners support MCS and are always striving to ensure students and staff know their safety is our utmost priority.
We continue to encourage students, staff, and families that if you see something, you say something. Please take this opportunity to talk with your student about the seriousness and resulting consequences of making any kind of threat and about the appropriate use of social media. Please encourage your students to speak with you, the SRO, or another adult at school if they see or hear something, so that immediate action can be taken.
Thank you
