The Geary County Sheriff's Department said this week that they're working hand in hand with Geary USD 475 and the Junction City Police Department, and maintaining students' safety is a top priority. Please do not hesitate to report any concerns you may have about potential violence.
They posted a message from USD 475 to families.
"USD 475 is aware of a current social media trend that lists potential district schools being targeted for a school shooting along with several other schools from across the nation.

USD 475 has been in communication with both Fort Riley and the Junction City Police Department.
Regardless of the nature of these threats, the Junction City Police Department, Geary County Sheriff's Office and USD 475 are fully committed to the safety and well being of all students within our community. As a precautionary measure, there will be an increased officer presence at our district's schools over the coming days.
