District addresses TikTok nationwide school violence threats

December 16, 2021

BKW Families and Staff,

Our administrative team was made aware of a TikTok social media post circulating regarding a warning about school shootings nationwide on December 17, 2021. Law enforcement across the state have been reviewing the posts. While there is no direct threat to our schools, we are working with our local law enforcement agencies to increase visibility on campus for tomorrow.

Please speak with your children about the critical importance of sharing any information that they might have about any potential threats to our students, staff or schools; any troubling behaviors being displayed by their friends and schoolmates; or any observations that they make of things that “just aren’t right” about what they see in their school.

Should you receive any information about this that you believe requires immediate action, please call 911 to report it. If you have information that you believe we should be aware of, please contact your child’s building principal or me as soon as possible. In the meantime, we will continue to keep you updated with any information that we receive.

Sincerely,
Dr. Timothy Mundell
Superintendent
