Good evening! This is Deborah Philpot Unit 50 Interim Superintendent. I wanted to let you know that we have received concerns of a potential threat brought to the administration’s attention. Earlier today at Teutopolis High School a school resource officer was brought in to assist in interviewing students to determine any actions the district should take and if there was a credible threat. After a thorough investigation process including input from the resource officer we did not determine any evidence that a credible threat existed. However the district will continue to be on alert to ensure the safety of all students.
