The safety and well-being of our students and staff are, and always will be, paramount at Idabel Public Schools. We take every threat seriously, and we respond swiftly and decisively to ensure the protection of our children.
Earlier today, a student reported that they believed they saw a firearm on campus at Idabel Middle School. In accordance with our established safety protocols, we immediately initiated a lockdown of the facility. Working in close collaboration with the Idabel Police Department, the McCurtain County Sheriff's Department, and the Choctaw Nation Lighthorse Police, we conducted a comprehensive search of every student and every classroom.
In today's world, we recognize that any potential threat, no matter how seemingly small, must be treated with the utmost urgency and a rapid, accurate response. We understand the concern and anxiety that such situations can cause, and we want to assure our community that we are committed to providing a safe and secure learning environment for all our students.
Following the thorough search conducted by law enforcement, no weapon was found. All students have been released to go home. We are deeply grateful for the swift and professional response of our law enforcement partners. Their dedication to our community's safety is invaluable. We also commend our students and staff for their cooperation and calm demeanor during this challenging situation. At Idabel Public Schools, we remain steadfast in our commitment to safeguarding the children entrusted to our care.
Thank You,
Dr. Alan Bryant
Superintendent
Idabel Middle School is currently under lockdown as a precautionary measure. Earlier today, a report was received that a student may possibly have a weapon on campus. The safety of our students and staff is our absolute priority, and we are working closely with the Idabel Police Department to ensure everyone's well-being.
Dismissal will be delayed as we are systematically clearing each classroom, one at a time, with law enforcement present. This process is necessary to thoroughly investigate the situation and ensure the safety of all students and staff before they are released.
We understand that this delay is inconvenient, and we sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through this situation.
🇺🇸 Did You Know? Wednesday! 🇺🇸
Today's school wide trivia question sparked some debate amongst teachers and students on the TRUE author of the Star-Spangled Banner. So, here’s a cool fact for the day!
"The Star-Spangled Banner" started as a poem written by Francis Scott Key in 1814 after an anxious night during the British attack on Fort McHenry, Francis Scott Key wrote a victory poem celebrating the Americans' resistance Later, the poem was set to music composed by John Stafford Smith, and that’s how it became the National Anthem of the United States! 🎶✨
Now you know the story behind the anthem we proudly sing! #DidYouKnowWednesday #StarSpangledBanner #ChargeAhead
