today. what is the final thing you say to them as they head out the door? >> well what i told both of them is have a good day, learn as much as you can and go about business as normal. bay city isd is open for business. i take this situation seriously as a parent just like anyone else would around the nation. we made our decisions a as family based on the fact that we know that public schools are the safest and best place for all children to gain an education and be safe on a daily basis. we made that decision -- our daughters were very excited abgoing to school today. my youngest daughter in particular who was threatened tolde her junior high is one of the most safest places because her teachers and the police officer are present all the time in the school and she kind of complained to the fact that they can't get away with anything. so we feel good about the safety and the security of our schools. >> you mentioned your daughter was threatened. can you further explain that?
