LCPS parents,
The district is closely monitoring a social media rumor related to school violence. We want to reassure you that threats made towards our students are taken seriously, and that recent national events are likely contributing to these social media posts.
LCPS is currently working with school resource officers on campus and with local law enforcement, who have determined these threats to be unsubstantiated.
Thank you for your continued partnership in keeping our schools safe.

Padres de LCPS,
El distrito está monitoreando de cerca un rumor en los medios sociales relacionado con la violencia escolar. Queremos asegurarles que las amenazas dirigidas a nuestros estudiantes se toman en serio, y que los recientes acontecimientos nacionales probablemente contribuyen a dichas publicaciones en los medios sociales.
LCPS está trabajando actualmente con agentes de seguridad escolar y con la policía local, quienes han determinado que estas amenazas no tienen fundamento.
Gracias por trabajar en permanente colaboración para mantener nuestras escuelas seguras.
