A message from Superintendent Ackerman:
There is no known active threat to our students, staff, or school. The safety and well-being of our students and staff remain our highest priorities.
We are writing to share information regarding a recent safety concern at Clinton County High School and to reassure our families that the matter has been addressed.
When concerns involving threatening statements were brought to our attention, school administration worked in collaboration with the Clinton County Sheriff's Office to assess the situation and determine appropriate next steps. The concern was taken seriously, and appropriate actions were taken in response.
We understand that situations of this nature can cause concern for families. Please know that we take all safety concerns seriously and follow established procedures to help ensure a safe and supportive learning environment. While student privacy requirements limit the details we can share, we remain committed to responding appropriately to concerns and communicating with families when necessary.
We encourage parents and guardians to speak with their children about the importance of using responsible and respectful language, both in person and online, and understanding the potential impact of statements that may be perceived as threatening. We also encourage students to report any concerns they may hear, see, or experience to a trusted adult or school administrator so they can be addressed promptly.
Maintaining a safe school environment is a shared responsibility. Through communication, cooperation, and continued support from our families and community, we can work together to ensure our schools remain a safe and welcoming place for all students and staff.
Thank you for your continued trust, partnership, and support of Clinton County School District. We appreciate our school community and remain committed to providing an environment where every student can learn and thrive.
