Earlier today we received a report of a threat of violence. This threat was not directed at our school specifically but rather at the American educational system. Many other educators from across the state were copied on the email threat. The Twin Falls Police Department quickly investigated and determined that the threat was a hoax and there was no credible danger to our students.
It appears that the threat is part of a nationwide trend of similar hoax threats that come from outside our community and are intended to disrupt the educational environment.
While it appears that this specific threat is a hoax, we encourage you to talk with your students about this incident and remind them that if they see or hear anything that might endanger the safety of our schools to report it immediately. We all play a role in the safety of our school campus.
