We want to inform you about recent social media posts mentioning potential threats against schools in general (all over the state). While there has been no direct threat to Merkel ISD, we take all such matters seriously and work closely with local law enforcement to discern the impact on MISD.
Please discuss with your child the importance of reporting any concerning posts they encounter on social media to you or their campus administration. This will enable us to investigate appropriately alongside the Merkel Police Department. Although many of these threats have been false claims or hoaxes (resulting in arrests), we must address them promptly.
If you have any questions or information that might assist us, please contact the school office.
Thank you for your cooperation and support.
