USD 315 has recently been made aware of threats circulating on TikTok similar to those reported in other Kansas school districts. While no credible evidence has been found indicating an immediate threat to USD 315 students or staff, we are in collaboration with the Colby Police Department, will take extra precautions on that date to ensure the safety and security of everyone in the schools. This will include an increased police presence. USD 315 values the continued support and cooperation of the community as they work through this situation. The safety of students is USD 315’s top priority and they are confident that, together, they will maintain a secure environment in the schools. Reports of similar threats have surfaced in multiple states, including Kansas, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Texas, Tennessee and Florida. USD 315 encourages anyone who notices suspicious activity or has concerns to report it immediately to local law enforcement.
