As a follow - up communication; The student who made the threat on the bus route has been identified and is being dealt with through the disciplinary process. The threat assessment team, in conjunction with law enforcement, reviewed the facts and determined that the threat was not credible. Again, we cannot go into more detail of this incident because of student privacy laws. The district takes these matters seriously and always places the well-being of our students, faculty and staff ahead of all other things. I would like to thank the Du Quoin Police Department, administration, the threat assessment team and everyone who had a part in quickly resolving this situation.

Today, we were made aware of a possible threat to a specific student on a bus route. The student who made the statement will not be on the bus or in attendance at school while this investigation is conducted and we will continue to closely monitor the situation. The police were immediately contacted to investigate the incident. We cannot go into more detail of this incident because of student privacy laws and because the investigation is ongoing. We take all threats seriously as the safety of our students and staff is our top priority. Again, after consultation with local authorities, we feel comfortable that the school is safe at this time.
