DAVIDSON COUNTY, N.C. — UPDATE: The Davidson County Sheriff said they are still investigating the threat and have found no validity to the threat.
The Davidson County Sheriff's Office said they have received multiple calls regarding threats to North Davidson Middle School.
Law enforcement is aware of the threats and is working to actively investigate them.
Davidson County is not the only county in the Triad to report an increase in threats made to schools. School districts in Guilford County, Forsyth County, and Alamance County have issued statements on social media and to our news team that said they are aware other school districts across North Carolina are receiving threats.
Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools held a joint press conference on Sept. 12 with the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office to address concerns from parents and families about the non-credible threats.
In the press conference, the WS/FCS superintendent Tricia McManus said the district partnered with law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, to investigate the threats they received and plan to upgrade their security measures in schools to have randomized metal detectors and a new weapons detection system program.
McManus and other Triad school district leaders said students should not share or repost threats online.
"We take any threat seriously, and we will continue to follow all protocols in partnership with law enforcement to ensure the safety of students and staff. Students who convey threats of any kind will receive school and legal consequences. To help prevent the spread of misinformation, please only share information that you can personally verify," GCS said in an online statement.
This is a developing story.
