Parents this is Bobby Cox, Director of Warren County Schools, as most of you are aware we received notice of violent threats directed at Warren County High School late Wednesday evening, Feb 6.
We put an action plan together with the local authorities to ensure the safety of our schools and our campuses across the system. We wanted to make sure that we had all the facts before we sent a mass message out via our calling system to you. Currently the Sheriff’s Department is working with the TBI and Homeland Security to trace down the person who posted this message.
We have increased the presence of police and sheriff’s deputies in our schools today (Thursday) and tomorrow (Friday) and all schools will limit access into each building to ensure the safety of our staff and students. In the world we live today, we can never be too cautious and must take all threats seriously. There will always be the threat of violence, but we feel our staff in partnership with our local McMinnville City Police and the Warren County Sheriff’s Department are prepared for any issue that could arise.
That being said, we feel that all schools are well prepared and safe to attend and all of our children can go to school and get the education they need. Thank you for your patience and have a good evening.
A message from Bobby Cox
Director of Schools
