SUMMARY: In the past month, several threats have emerged in schools across the Mid-South, prompting a response from various officials, including law enforcement and school district leaders. After a specific threat was called in at Southwind High School, all schools underwent a soft lockdown. Three students from Whitehaven were detained, though not connected to the initial threat. The superintendent assured parents that all communication was timely and that it’s safe for students to return to school.
