Update to threat: Taylor County Schools has been in contact with Taylor County Schools in Kentucky and learned the threat is not related to them but a social media post spreading nationwide. Authorities there continue to work on locating the person who began this earlier in the week.


Taylor County Schools was alerted to a possible threat involving a weapon and TCMS. The Sheriff’s Department investigated and determined it was meant for a school in Taylor County Kentucky. We appreciate those who shared the message and the diligence of the Sheriff’s department and the support they will provide at TCMS today.
