This statement was released by USD 489 as of Tuesday morning.

Hays 489 has been made aware of threats circulating on social media, similar to reports in other Kansas school districts.

These threats appear to be part of a broader online trend.

While no credible evidence has been found indicating an immediate threat to our students or staff, it has been noted that Sept. 23 is a potential date for these events.

Hays 489 is working in collaboration with Hays Police Dept to ensure the safety and security of all students and staff.

We encourage anyone who notices suspicious activity or has concerns to report it immediately to local law enforcement.
