Thankfully, there have been no reported injuries to any students, the bus driver, or others involved. District personnel worked closely with emergency responders to ensure students remained safe and were cared for throughout the situation.
We are grateful for the quick response of our local first responders and appreciate their support. The safety and well-being of our students and staff will always remain our top priority.
On Wednesday, district and school leaders participated in Behavioral Threat Assessment and Management (BTAM) training led by Kimberly Cook, Homeland Security Area 1 Coordinator with Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security (GEMA/HS), with support from Dave Shanks, Targeted Violence Prevention Homeland Security Coordinator.
The training provided leaders with practical strategies for identifying, assessing, and responding to potential threats while reinforcing our commitment to maintaining safe, supportive learning environments.
Thank you to GEMA/HS, Kimberly Cook, and Dave Shanks for sharing their expertise and helping strengthen school safety efforts in Wilkes County Schools.
