Last night, Garrard County Schools and Garrard Middle School were made aware of a potential threat to GMS. The following was sent to all middle school parents this morning. We are now sharing globally.
Garrard Middle School is aware of the social media post made referencing a potential threat towards GMS. We have been in contact with local law enforcement and the individual has been charged with 1st Degree Terroristic Threatening. Out of an abundance of caution we will have an increased presence of law enforcement to provide additional security along with our SRO at GMS. We appreciate the support and swift actions of our local law enforcement in this matter. We are committed to the safety and security of our students and staff. We remain in contact with law enforcement and ask that if you know any more information to please reach out to local law enforcement.
Please know we will continue to work with law enforcement as needed in order to provide any further support or assistance.
Garrard County Schools is aware of a post that is being circulated about a school named Buckeye Local. That school is in Ohio, but we have notified local law enforcement so we can continue to monitor. Our SROs continue to be active and engaged in all our buildings. We will continue to work with law enforcement to maintain the highest level of safety possible.
