CROSSETT SCHOOL DISTRICT

Final Update We have been notified that the suspect in the alleged threat to the football game is in police custody and has been arrested. We believe that there is no longer any active threat directed at this school district, and the football game will proceed as usual. Law enforcement has been tremendously helpful to us, and we are very grateful for their prompt and comprehensive response. We appreciate your patience as we have worked through this situation, and as always, we appreciate your support.

Update: Further investigation has revealed that the alleged threat was directed at tonight’s home football game, and not the high school itself. However, we continue to maintain the law enforcement and staff vigilance put in place earlier. Law enforcement is in the process of investigating the allegation, and the individual in question is not on campus and will not be on campus until the investigation is complete. There will be enhanced law enforcement presence at tonight’s game, but at the present, it is still scheduled to occur. Please monitor the district’s website for possible further updates.

 We have been made aware of a possible threat to student and staff safety at the High School. We are responding to this by requesting additional law enforcement support and adding staff to aggressively monitor security technology, as we investigate the situation fully. Please trust that nothing is more important than the security of our campuses and the safety of our students and staff as we work to resolve this situation.

Attention Eagle Fans! Please be aware of our Game Day Rules. Thank you for your support of all our Eagles.
