Mattoon CUSD2 is aware of state and national school threats circulating on social media. It appears that this is part of a viral trend affecting schools and districts across the country, including our own region. To our knowledge, NO threats have been made against our schools at this time. However, please know that we take this situation very seriously and we are putting extra precautions in place to ensure student safety. We encourage anyone who sees or hears anything that could pose a potential school safety issue to immediately notify a teacher, staff member, administrator, or local law enforcement.
Please note that any threats that are made against our schools- whether it occurs on social media, in conversation, or any other format- carry serious legal and disciplinary consequences. As a district, we handle all incidents in collaboration with the Mattoon Police Department.
If any threats are received, we will provide our families with as much information as possible.
The safety of our students is our top priority. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your school’s office.
-Tim Condron, Superintendent Mattoon CUSD #2
