Officials with the West Central Valley (WCV) School District today (Monday) said on their social media page, that Guthrie County, Stuart Police and State law enforcement officials provided “Solid security” Monday to the district, in light of a threatening note found in the High School commons last Friday, in Stuart. The District says “Stuart Police and our Highway Patrol representative are continuing their investigation to locate the person or persons responsible for the note.”

District officials said also, that “For the remainder of this week, all buildings will be utilizing a single point of access for all students and families. All doors in each building will be locked, and the access point will be monitored (The access point is normally the main entry door). The high school will continue to have a modified contingent of law enforcement personnel onsite for a good portion of this week as their investigation continues. High school students will continue to have their bags checked when they enter the building. The elementary buildings and the middle school will operate under normal conditions with the exception of the single point of access.”

The message to parents concluded by saying “The district will continue to provide for a safe learning environment for the students of West Central Valley. We will continue to work closely with all law enforcement agencies on this issue, and will continue to take the necessary steps to provide you with up-to-date information related to school events.”
