Safer schools means safer communities. Earlier this week, school safety teams from local school districts participated in a new violence prevention training.
The Iowa Department of Education reports that 650 students were expelled or removed from school due to violent fights that caused injuries in the 2020-2021 school year.
Good afternoon,
This letter is in response to information that has been posted on social media concerning an incident that occurred at Fox River Middle School on Wednesday, April 28.
During the 8th grade lunch period, students reported to an aide that another student threatened to shoot up the class and/or shoot a student. Building administration conducted an investigation that included interviewing many of the students from the class. They found that there were no consistent stories from the students. The story that is being communicated through social media about threats of violence was not generated until after school and not substantiated.
