Dawson Springs Independent Schools Superintendent Leonard Whalen has addressed an incident involving two elementary students found with a threatening list.
Around 1:00 p.m. Monday, Dawson Springs Independent Schools shared a release on its social media page that early Monday morning, they learned of two elementary-aged girls who were in possession of a “kill list” in class. Superintendent Leonard Whalen said, “The teacher immediately confiscated the list, and the girls were immediately removed from class and are being dealt with on multiple levels.” Whalen noted that, “at this time, it appears there is no immediate threat.”
Whalen said they “will continue to investigate the situation thoroughly and will take appropriate action.” He added that they will also be contacting the parents of anyone directly related to any threat. Because minors are involved, Whalen noted that the amount of information the district can share will be limited.
