For Immediate Release: Statement by Macon County Schools Superintendent Dr. Chris Baldwin & MCSO Sheriff Robert Holland October 12, 2022 This week Macon County School officials and School Resource Officers dealt with a situation that originated on a school bus where two students were making inappropriate statements that other students could hear. These statements were considered to be threatening in manner. This was reported and dealt with immediately which included parental involvement. We are satisfied that everything was handled appropriately and all student resources were utilized in addressing this incident. We would encourage families to take this opportunity to remind your students that “words do matter” and any statements regarding actions that potentially could harm others will be dealt with swiftly. In this situation the threat of bringing a gun to school was made. We feel these students were not serious and had no intention of carrying out the threat but as these students quickly learned that any such statements will not be tolerated in any of our schools.
