KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Olathe School District notified parents and staff Friday morning of a likely non-credible, vague threat made on social media.
In the message, the district said they were made aware of the threat on social media and engaged the district’s Safety Services department and local police, who do not believe the threat to be credible.
