Threats Made Across Ohio School Districts -- Superintendent's Message

December 11, 2023
 
Dear Mohawk Families,
 
The health and safety of our students and staff remain our top priority. This afternoon, school districts across the state of Ohio, including Madison Local Schools, received an email message threatening school buildings from an account claiming to be a Russian terrorist. On Friday, school districts in Texas received a very similar message.
 
Butler County Sheriff's Department, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, has been actively monitoring these threats. While we have no reason to believe these threats are credible, the safety of our children is always our top priority. We are in touch with Butler County and will continue to monitor the situation.
 
If families or students are concerned about a potential threat at any time, we encourage them to report their concerns to their school administration or the board office.
 
Our school administration and counselors will be available if you or your child have concerns or need to talk to someone. Thank you for your continued support in providing a safe learning environment for our schools.
 
Sincerely,
 
Jeff Staggs
Superintendent
