That's today's Appalachian Wireless. In the past 24 hours, social media has exploded with posts and comments about rumored threats allegedly made by a student at Prestonsburg High School. In response, many parents chose not to send their children to class today and attendance was down significantly. EKB News reached out to Floyd County Schools Superintendent Dr. Henry Webb who confirmed his office did receive a call reporting an alleged threat this past Friday. Webb says his office took the report very seriously and officials at Prestonsburg High School conducted a thorough investigation into the rumored allegations. I asked the school to send home a letter to clearly state that we had an allegation. It was investigated thoroughly. It was not substantiated and that everything was safe and that we take safety very seriously in the school district and it's our number one priority. Social media has no filters so people can put what they want on social media or what they think or what their personal opinions are. We just really try to make sure we communicate what we know and that's what we try to do with the letter. It's put exactly what we know and I would just encourage anybody if they have specific information that they think we don't have to contact our school principal and let them know immediately. Dr. Webb said he met with several concerned parents this morning who kept their children at home today as a safety precaution and assured them the school's investigation did not find any cause for alarm.
