CPSD Staff & Families,
We want to provide another follow-up regarding the image circulating on social media last night that contained a threatening message.
The Conway Police Department shared:
“At approximately 10:00 p.m., detectives with the Conway Police Department took a 13-year-old female Conway Student into custody in connection with reported threats made on social media.
The juvenile has been charged with Threatening to Commit an Act of Mass Violence on School Property, a Class C felony, and is currently being held at a juvenile detention center.
At this time, no other suspects are believed to be involved.
This incident remains under active investigation.
We appreciate the public’s cooperation and assistance throughout this investigation.”
School will be in session today. The safety and security of our students and staff remain our top priority.
We want to extend our sincere appreciation to the Conway Police Department and our School Resource Officers for their swift response and dedication in handling this situation. Their ability to act quickly and work thoroughly was instrumental in helping ensure the safety of our students and staff.
CPSD Families,
We want to provide a follow-up regarding the image circulating on social media that contains a threatening message.
At this time, there is no new information regarding the credibility or origin of the message. The matter remains under active investigation by local law enforcement, and we are continuing to work closely with them.
School will be in session tomorrow, and we will continue to be vigilant with all our safety measures across all campuses. The safety and security of our students and staff remain our top priority.
We understand that families may have concerns, and we respect each parent/guardian's decision regarding attendance. As always, please make the decision that is best for your student and your family.
We will continue to monitor the situation closely and share updates as appropriate.
Thank you for your continued trust and partnership.
