Dunkerton Community School District recently issued the following announcement.
We are aware of an anonymous, nationwide threat against schools that is being shared on social media outlets including TikTok and Facebook. The general threat toward all schools in the United States declares tomorrow, Friday, December 17, as “American School Shooting Day.”
The posts warn about the possibility of nationwide shootings or bomb threats associated with this day. We have been in contact with local law enforcement. They are aware and will be in contact throughout the day tomorrow. At this time, law enforcement has not acquired any evidence that would deem these threats as credible in our area. Out of an abundance of caution, our schools will be in continual contact with law enforcement throughout the day on Friday.
Please take this opportunity to talk with your students about the appropriate use of social media, and the seriousness and resulting consequences of making any kind of threat. Encourage your students to speak with you or an adult at school if they see or hear something so immediate action can be taken. In addition, if anyone in our community sees something suspicious, please report it to the school immediately or call local law enforcement. We appreciate your support and partnership.
