West Plains, MO. – Yesterday, at 4:15pm, the West Plains R-VII School District issued a District Safety Update, outlining a threat made. Below we’ll post the unedited release.
District Safety Update 4.18.2024
At the end of the school day today, the district learned that a middle school student allegedly made a verbal threat. After an investigation, there were no weapons found. Administrators and local law enforcement will determine what disciplinary action is necessary.
The safety of our students and staff is always our priority. We take threats to the well-being of our schools, staff, and students seriously.
Because of student privacy laws, we cannot publicly discuss specific disciplinary matters. However, in cases such as these, we reference school board policies, which can be found at www.zizzers.org.
