Safety sweeps of all classrooms reveal no weapons. The lockdown has been lifted at ECCSS schools. The threat was determined to be a prank call made by an 8th-grade student. The student who made the call was placed into custody, and the district will follow through with disciplinary action.
ECCSS encourages parents to have conversations about the seriousness of school safety and the importance of speaking up when anything seems out of line. Threatening messages, actions, and/or possessions will be dealt with to the fullest extent of the law.
April 8, 2024: Evans County Schools have been placed under a lockdown status after receiving information from local authorities about a threat made by an anonymous caller. Our safety protocols have been initiated across the district, and local police are now on site. For the safety of students and faculty, no one will be allowed in or out of the buildings until clearance is provided by law enforcement. The safety of our students, staff, and community is our number one priority.
