Riverbend School District Issues Statement On Threat Made Today

Today a student shared a threat that the student was made aware of with the Fulton High School Principal.  The High School Principal immediately contacted the Fulton Police to inform them that a threat was received by a current student from a former student.

The Fulton Police began their investigation and provided guidance as the School Administration prioritized student safety.  A soft lock down was initiated in each of the buildings as a precautionary measure.  The Fulton Police have been on-site providing continual support. The soft lock down ended when the threat was contained.

I cannot comment on the Police Investigation.  I would like to thank the student who came forward with the information and the Fulton Police for their support throughout the entire incident.

Student safety is and continues to be our number one priority.  Thank you for your patience and understanding during this matter.
