CLAY COUNTY - USD 379 Clay County Schools Superintendent, Brett Nelson posted a message to the community on the district's Facebook page, stating a member of the school board received an email stating they had "planted bombs on the inside and also requested bitcoins.”

Nelson said officials at KDHE were aware of the message which had been sent to not only Clay County schools, but other schools, hospitals and businesses nationwide.

Local law enforcement will be present at all schools within USD 379 district, following a thorough inspection of the buildings, checking for open doors/window, or anything unusual.

RILEY COUNTY - USD 378 Riley County Schools Superintendent Cliff Williams also released a statement to parents saying the Riley County Police Department and SRO Officer Sheldon confirmed USD 378 school district had not been directly threatened.

According to Williams, RCPD has been at both schools out of an abundance of caution.
