Threat Against Reidland Middle Under Investigation

The McCracken County Sheriff's Office is investigating a report of a threat against Reidland Middle School.

McCracken County Schools Director of Public Relations Jayme Jones says administrators at the school learned late Saturday night about the potential threat made against the school. Jones said school officials are working closely with detectives to assist with the investigation.

"The safety and security of our students and staff is always our top priority and we take all threats seriously, as does the McCracken County Sheriff's Office," Jones said. "This is a timely reminder for our entire school community that threatening or concerning behavior or language should always be reported to authorities and we thank those that brought this information forward."
 
Sheriff's detectives say they are still investigating, but at his time there doesn't appear to have been any credible threat against the school.
 
The Sheriff’s Office encouraged the public to call 911 or 270-444-8550 if they hear of alleged threats.
