Statement from Sheldon Community School District Superintendent Robin Spears:
“Through the efforts of school officials and local law enforcement, the student responsible for the threat on Friday, Dec. 11, 2015 was identified Friday evening. Local law enforcement officials took the student into custody on Saturday, Dec. 12, 2015. The threat from this student and the threat to the safety of students, community members, and school personnel no longer exist. Students will be allowed to bring backpacks to school on Monday, Dec. 14, 2015.”
