We know that any report of a threat to school safety causes immense worry, especially given the recent events in our state. You may have heard of a report regarding Lincoln Middle School and we want to share the statement we gave to all LMS parents:
Dear Lincoln Families,
Last night we informed you that there was a report of an anonymous threat made through TikTok. We know that any report of a threat to school safety causes immense worry, especially given the recent events in our state. We contacted the Cottage Grove Police Department, fully investigated the report, and found the threat to be unsubstantiated and not credible.
Throughout today our administrators and police investigated several follow up reports. All of these are stemming from the same initial threat and our investigations and law enforcement have confirmed all of the follow up reports are also not credible.
Out of an abundance of caution and to help provide peace of mind you may continue to see a police presence on campus at LMS this week. We continue to support and respond to students and parents who are upset by this news.
Student safety is our top priority and we will continue to monitor the situation. We appreciate your patience and support as we work together to keep our community safe and informed.
We realize that as information passes between people or gets posted on social media it can change or it can become exaggerated. Please know that we investigate everything reported to ensure the safety of our students. All South Lane Schools remain open and operating on a normal schedule. We appreciate your partnership and support as we work alongside the Cottage Grove Police Department to keep our community safe and accurately informed.
