Some county schools respond to nationwide social media threat
By AMIE CATO-REMER EDITOR

In response to a recent nationwide social media threat last week, several schools in Sequoyah County took precautionary measures to ensure the safety of their students and staff.

Muldrow

Muldrow Public Schools last Wednesday addressed the situation on their social media page, reassuring the community that, while they are aware of the nationwide threat, there was no specific mention of their district in the posts.

Muldrow Public Schools heightened security measures by deploying extra officers on-site. The district emphasized their commitment to safety and their collaboration with local law enforcement to monitor and address any potential risks. Gans

Gans Public School also communicated with parents and community members about the threat.

Superintendent Regina Brannon noted that although there was no evidence linking the threat to their school, they treated it with caution. The Sequoyah County Sheriff ’s Department and the school’s Resource Officer actively monitored the situation and took necessary precautions.

Gans Public School said they would continue to keep parents informed with any updates as they become available.

Central

Central Public Schools similarly responded to the situation, informing their community that the Sequoyah County Sheriff ’s Department and their Resource Officers were aware of the threat, implementing precautionary measures. Central Public Schools assured parents that there was no credible threat to their specific institution and that students were in a secure learning environment.

All three schools underscored their dedication to maintaining a safe environment and ongoing partnerships with local law enforcement. They thanked everyone for their cooperation and understanding.
