Dear Parents/Guardians,
Shelby County Schools has been working closely with the Calera Police Department regarding the social media threat made to Calera High School. Calera Police Chief David Hyche released a statement via social media that detectives believe this is a screenshot of a 2018 threat that someone reposted. The individual responsible for the 2018 threat was arrested and charged.
This originally appeared to be a direct threat against Calera High School not related to other false threats circulating in other districts. Because of the direct nature of the threat law enforcement and the school district responded out of an abundance of caution until it was determined it was an old threat that had resurfaced.
In addition to the initial threat, a student heard a rumor of a bomb threat which was also investigated thoroughly and deemed to not be credible.
At this time, the secured perimeter has been lifted from all of our Calera schools.
Thank you again for your support and cooperation.
Dear Parents/Guardians,
As many of you may be aware there was a social media threat made to Calera High School. The Calera Police Department is addressing the threat and is investigating. However, out of an abundance of caution, we have placed our three other Calera schools - Calera Middle School, Calera Intermediate School, and Calera Elementary School - on secure the perimeter. Chief Hyche, with the Calera Police Department, has placed additional officers at all Calera Schools. Please know that at no time were any of the other Calera schools identified in the social media threat. While we are continuing our daily school operations as normal at our Calera community schools, we will remain in secure the perimeter at this time.
We appreciate your continued support and cooperation during this time.
