Dear TISD Parents and Families,
Late yesterday afternoon, TISD was made aware of a posting on a school computer indicating a possible riot on our high school campus Friday morning, February 21, 2020 at 7:30 a.m.. As a result of this posting an increased presence of TISD law enforcement officers were at the HS. TISD administrators and the TISD police department have been actively investigating the posting and have determined that the threat was not credible. The individual responsible for posting the threat was removed from school and placed into custody. At no time were students in danger, but as an abundance of caution I wanted to inform parents.
Please stress to your children the seriousness of posting social threats. Trinity ISD will take all threats seriously and will prosecute anyone caught making those threats.
Thank you for your cooperation and if you have any questions please feel free to call your child's principal.
Respectfully,
John Kaufman
TISD Superintendent
