Stakeholders of Murray Independent Schools,
The Murray Independent School District is committed to the safety and education of all of our students. We also want to clearly communicate with parents about safety issues when they arise.
This afternoon (Thursday 01/25/24) the administration of Murray Middle School was made aware of a possible threatening statement. After obtaining the information, the School Resource Officer and school officials began an investigation into the validity of the threat. After review, it was determined the statement is not credible.
Murray Independent wishes to inform families there were no threatening statements made toward specific students or campus facilities. Murray Middle School was never at risk and would like to remind everyone that threatening statements should never be made and such statements have consequences. All threats to our schools or students are taken seriously and investigated. Our desire is for you to have the facts so you can discuss with your child to emphasize the seriousness of these matters.
All district schools and programs will continue normal operations on Friday, January 26, 2024
Kindest Regards,
Coy D. Samons, Superintendent
