Part 2: Out of precaution, the school district secured the buildings, and the police were notified. No gun was seen by any students or found on the suspected students. Takis chips were found in both bags.
We appreciate your willingness to continually trust us with your children. We make every effort to provide them with a safe and caring environment while at school.
If you have any question or concerns, please feel free to contact your child’s school or my office at 870-734-5105.
Thank You,
Dr. Brenda Poole,
Superintendent of Schools
Part 1: Dear Brinkley School District Families, In an effort to remain as transparent as possible, we feel it is necessary to inform you of an incident that occurred today at Brinkley High School. A BHS student saw a student with two backpacks and became suspicious. Instead of informing an adult, the student told other students, and they started a group text chat about a gun. The school briefly went on lockdown to stop the movement of any students while we quietly brought the student with the two backpacks to the office to investigate the situation.
Notice: Brinkley Public Schools will be back in session on Friday, February 3rd. Due to road conditions on Highway 238, the bus will not be able to travel to that location. We will continue to monitor the weather overnight. If road conditions change and we need to reverse this decision, we will notify you by callout and our social media platform. We know some people are experiencing power outages, so if your electricity is not restored by tomorrow, don’t hesitate to contact your child’s teacher about any makeup work. Please exercise caution at the bus stop and on sidewalks.
