Jackson County Schools and Ravenswood High School are committed to the safety and education of all our students. Essential to this commitment is open communication with our families and school community about potential concerns when they arise. For this reason, I wanted to share some information regarding unsubstantiated or rumored threats circulating on a social media messaging platform. Please rest assured that we take all threats seriously. Upon notification of reported threats, we contact law enforcement immediately to investigate any threat and its validity. The reported messages are being investigated and appear to be similar to other threats or messages being spread throughout our region. Jackson County Schools has not been identified in a post to our knowledge, but many schools in our region have been named. We understand that situations like this can be concerning, and we want to assure you that we are committed to maintaining a safe and secure environment for all. Once again, we want to emphasize our unwavering commitment to the safety of our students and staff. We are grateful for the support and collaboration of our school communities and law enforcement agencies. Together, we will continue to work diligently to keep our schools safe and secure. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to get in touch with me directly at (304) 273-9301. Thank you for your continued trust and support as we work together to keep our school community safe.
