A student was arrested in the Southern Boone School District for making a verbal threat, prompting early class dismissals and the cancellation of classes the following day. The Ashland Police confirmed there was no ongoing threat to the community. Superintendent Tim Roth emphasized the district’s commitment to safety and communication as parents expressed concerns about transparency regarding the incident. A recent survey indicated that many parents feel the district has not adequately addressed safety measures. They are seeking a long-term plan for ensuring student security and have expressed frustration over a perceived lack of communication. While the district plans to resume classes on Wednesday, parents want assurance regarding the handling of the arrested student and measures to protect their children.
