Local police and school authorities have taken steps to address a rumored threat of harm to others at a school facility made Wednesday night on Facebook. Action was taken immediately once the rumored threat was discovered, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Rachel Yarbrough said today in a statement addressing the matter.
“The investigation reached a conclusion this morning and all appropriate law enforcement steps and school district discipline procedures have been implemented to ensure the safety of all students and staff at Crittenden County Middle School,” Yarbrough wrote.
School administrators ask that anyone with knowledge of any type of threat immediately notify school or local law enforcement authorities in order to better protect students and staff.
“We take all threatening statements seriously and proceed promptly to investigate the situations thoroughly,” Yarbrough added.
