Taylorville Community Unit School District 3 says it is working with local law enforcement after a possible threat against the junior high was posted on social media.

In a letter sent to parents, Superintendent Brandi Bruley said district officials immediately began an investigation and turned the matter over to their Student Resource Officer and local police. Bruley noted that any student who makes such threats will face consequences and disciplinary action.

At this time, school officials say they do not believe there is any imminent danger to students or staff.

Bruley assured parents that the well-being of students remains the district’s top priority and emphasized that schools are safe for students to attend. The district says it will continue to work closely with law enforcement as the investigation continues.
