The Graettinger-Terril Middle/High building has been cleared by law enforcement. Students who have items in the building that they would like to pick up can do so until 4:30 PM this afternoon. Any items left in the building over night can be picked up in the morning.
GT/RA Students, Parents and Staff:
Today Graettinger-Terril experienced what many schools have had to deal with in the past, a bomb threat. The threat was made leaving a written message in a restroom. This was reported to the office and this is what triggered the district to contact law enforcement. It was at the advice of law enforcement to evacuate the building.
The students responded to the directions given by staff and were able to safely make it to one of the nearby churches. Thank you to both students and staff for remaining calm and following directions during this evacuation.
Thank you to local and state law enforcement for their professional advice and response to this situation. All the law enforcement officials were extremely professional in conducting the search of the building.
Please report any information regarding this bomb threat to the school administration.
