Marion Community Schools takes all reports of threats seriously. Safety of our students is top priority.
On Feb. 26, McCulloch Junior High School administrators were made aware of reports of threatening communications regarding the school. We want you to know that an investigation was conducted, and MCS administrators work closely with local law enforcement in any such situation. We are committed to a safe and healthy learning environment and would not put students or staff into a situation we believed to be unsafe. Officials have stated there is believed to be no ongoing threat.
Marion Community Schools does not tolerate such conduct. A threat of illegal conduct can be met with a disciplinary response up to and including expulsion. (MCS Rules, Consequences, and Supports are included as part of our student handbook, available on our website here.)
We would like to take this opportunity to urge anyone who notices anything suspicious while at one of our schools or at a school event to contact the nearest MCS employee immediately.
In addition, we ask anyone who knows anything that threatens the safety of our students or schools to contact school or district administrators at any time. Contact information for all of our buildings is available at our website, www.marion.k12.in.us. Reporting issues directly to our staff is the best way to address problems.
We do also have an anonymous student/school safety hotline available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Call or text 765-673-7373 or email [email protected].
