An anonymous threat was made on social media targeting WACO schools for Wednesday, September 18th. An investigation into this claim was done by the school administration and local law enforcement ensured the safety of the staff and students. This threat follows an ongoing trend in the United States where people attempt to instill an uneasy sense in a school district, typically by sending a vague text message. They then choose a different district the next day. According to the superintendent of WACO CSD, Ken Crawford, WACO is a safe environment, and all involved in investigating and keeping students safe should be commended.
