The Paragould School District has been made aware of a threat made over social media. Authorities are working to investigate the anonymous post to determine where the post originated. Out of precaution, additional officers will be on the high school campus.
We have been working closely with the Paragould Police Department and have been told that the threat may have originated overseas. The safety of our students and staff is high priority for the district. We will continue to work with the Paragould Police Department to investigate this matter to the fullest and keep the public aware of developments to the best of our ability.
The District encourages parents to speak with their children about the seriousness and potential consequences of making threats online, even as a joke. All threats are taken seriously and investigated, and any students caught making threats may face possible criminal charges and expulsion from school. Student safety will always be paramount within the Paragould School District.
