On Thursday evening, the administration was made aware that a student had made a threat toward the school. Parents of the student and witnesses were contacted, and the Hardin Police Department was immediately notified. Officers ensured that all school entrances were covered Friday morning and assisted in interviewing the student and parent. We appreciate the support and partnership of the Hardin Police Department in keeping our school community safe.
In a separate incident Friday morning, students were entering the Middle School through the metal detectors and a student handed the middle school staff a small can of pepper spray. The staff, not being aware of what they had, accidentally discharged the pepper spray. The staff and students in the immediate vicinity of the spray had burning eyes and trouble swallowing. Paramedics were called and were able to check each individual that was showing symptoms. All students that were effected were checked and their families notified and none were transported to the hospital by ambulance. Some staff members were checked and taken to the hospital.
