The information below was posted on the official
Jason Barnett, DeKalb County Superintendent Facebook page this morning about a possible threat to Geraldine High School. Below is the quote from his Facebook post:
“I want to address a potential threat to Geraldine High School that has been brought to my attention this evening.
Many of you have seen and/or shared some concerning communications regarding text messages and other messages that have been spreading across Facebook, Instagram, twitter, etc.. regarding a student making what appears to be a potential threat. We are aware of this and are working with the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office to ensure that our students are safe on the Geraldine Campus. To that end, a student has been taken into, and will remain in, police custody for questioning regarding the student’s decision to send these messages.
I want to re-iterate that student safety is paramount, and we are and will continue to be vigilant in monitoring any and all incidents we believe could possibly pose a threat to our campus. We are blessed to live in the wonderful communities of DeKalb County and we are committed to making it even better. I do want to, once again, thank the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office for their swift and strong support of DeKalb County Alabama Schools and the safety of our students.
