We received notification that a possible threat was in our midst. School system staff and law enforcement responded immediately and started a search of the Crisp County Middle School campus. At this time, there is no evidence of any device to cause harm.
Out of an abundance of caution, we evacuated the school for a thorough inspection by the Crisp County Sheriff Office. We appreciate everyone’s efforts and support while investigating this bomb threat. There has not been any mention of a possible shooting incident. CCSS will take every threat seriously to protect our students, staff and community.
As Superintendent of Crisp County Schools, I want to address today’s incident involving a possible threat. The safety and well-being of our students and staff are our top priorities. We take any threat of violence very seriously and have protocols in place to ensure a swift and thorough investigation.
We are working closely with law enforcement and mental health professionals to address this situation appropriately. We are also reinforcing our commitment to maintaining a safe and supportive learning environment for all students. We ask for your cooperation in reinforcing with your children the importance of reporting any concerning behavior to school authorities immediately.
Thank you for your understanding and support as we work through this matter.
We are continuing to monitor the weather. We are expecting more wind and rain, so please be careful and very cautious on the roadways. School will resume as normal tomorrow, Tuesday, August 6, 2024. As always, please continue to stay alert and keep up with safety information on the Crisp County Sheriff's Office Facebook page and our social media accounts. Thank you for your patience and flexibility.
Additionally, parents please also remember tomorrow is only day two of school, so traffic in school zones will still be quite congested. Bus routes may not be on their normal schedule until next week. Please keep this in mind when planning your day. Younger students must be received by parents/adults. When parents are not home it will cause a delay in the remainder of the route. Thank you for helping us be more efficient with getting all students home as quickly as possible while remaining safe.
Crisp County Schools, including Crisp Schools Early Learning Academy (Daycare Center), has been closely monitoring the development and path of Tropical Storm Debby. At this time, out of an abundance of caution and on the recommendation of our local EMS Director and the National Weather Service, Crisp County Schools will be CLOSED Monday, August 5, 2024. We will keep you informed as we know more about Tropical Storm Debby. Please remain vigilant and take appropriate precautions to stay safe during this storm.
Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year! The Crisp County School System is excited to welcome all of our students back to our campuses. Parents, please remember there will be extra traffic during the first few days of school. As in the past, traffic issues will work out as more students begin riding the bus. Please be patient, safe, and cooperative to help the first days of school go smoothly. Thank you in advance to everyone for helping us make this the best opening ever!
Parents, we are under a tornado warning. All schools are in safety positions. Please seek shelter now. Transportation will be suspended until the tornado warning is lifted. Expect delays during this time. Thanks for your patience and understanding.
