Students that attend the schools in Red Boiling Springs may notice a greater than normal police presence for the next couple of days. Upon the report of an unspecified threat found on the 6-12 section of the building, the Macon County Sheriff’s Office and the City of Red Boiling Springs Police Department are conducting a complete investigation and may be speaking to students as necessary. All threats are taken seriously, and this is no different. The safety of our students and staff are of the upmost concern and the number one priority of the school system and law enforcement. We hope to have this resolved quickly, and we appreciate your and your children’s patience and consideration while this is taking place. If you or your children have any information concerning this matter, please call or text 615-359-8399 or 615-359-8331.
