Dear QISD Parents and Guardians,
In an effort to remain as transparent as possible, we feel it is necessary to notify you of an incident that occurred yesterday at Quitman JH. Sometime around 5 pm the district was made aware that a JH student had made a verbal threat about bringing a firearm to school the next day. Let me be clear, there was no weapon on school property at any time; however, we take each threat seriously.
The district immediately contacted local law enforcement. An arrest was made Monday evening by the Quitman Police Department.
We appreciate the continued support of our parents, community, and local law enforcement.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact your child’s school at 903.763.5000.
Sincerely,
R.Turner
Superintendent of Schools
