Central Consolidated School District has issued a set of guidelines aimed at enhancing the safety and security of its schools. The district emphasizes the importance of teamwork in maintaining a secure environment for students and staff.

The district urges individuals to report any threats directly to building administrators, local police departments, or through the Tip Line "See Something, Say Something" at 1-844-572-9669. Reports should include screenshots, names of those who posted the threat, and other specific details.

Additionally, the district advises against sharing threat information on social media or via text messages. They note that spreading rumors can delay investigations and create confusion for families. "We value our staff members and law enforcement’s time and resources," they stated, adding that removing barriers is crucial for efficient investigations.

Parents are encouraged to discuss the Student Code of Conduct with their children to underscore the seriousness of threats. Even jokes or social media posts can lead to safety concerns and serious disciplinary actions.

By adhering to these guidelines, Central Consolidated School District believes that administrators, Safety Services teams, and local law enforcement can respond more effectively to potential threats without unnecessary confusion.
