Taylorville High School was subject to a threat of violence earlier today, following threats that had been made at the Taylorville Junior High School just last week. The Taylorville School District jumped to immediate action while notifying parents of the incident via email. At this time, local law enforcement has ensured district administrators and staff, as well as students, that school remains safe to attend.

The Taylorville Police Department has confirmed the student that made the threat has been identified. This student is facing possible legal action. Due to student privacy laws, the Taylorville School District is unable to provide further detail on the matter.

Brandi Bruley, Superintendent of the Taylorville School District, thanked everyone for their part in resolving the situation.
