Dear Buffalo Families,
Republic County USD #109 has become aware of a troubling post that has been shared widely this week on the social media platform TikTok across the nation. The post refers to a threat to school safety “for every school in the USA, even elementary,” on Friday, December 17.
The post appears to be part of a national TikTok trend and did not originate in our school district or Kansas from what we have learned. While we do not believe the threat to be credible, we are closely monitoring the situation and taking it seriously.
Additionally, the district has been in contact with the Belleville City Police Department regarding the post. We may have an increased police presence in our buildings on Friday as an added precaution.
This situation serves as a good example of why it is important to avoid sharing posts online that refer to school safety threats. Even if they are not credible threats, they can cause a great deal of stress and anxiety for our students, families, and staff. We ask our families to monitor their children’s social media activity and speak with them about proper behavior online.
If you or your child become aware of any potential threat posted to social media or anywhere else, please notify a school staff member, the Belleville City Police Department or trusted adult right away.
As always, thank you for your partnership as we work to ensure a safe, secure, and positive learning environment for our students.
Sincerely,
Larry Lyder
Superintendent
Republic County USD #109

1993 graduate Jana Stump-Shelfer and her husband Jason came to RCJSHS to speak to our junior high students about living with positivity in the world today. She has started a company with her husband called, ‘Living Lucky’ which promotes positivity and how to spread gratitude for what life gives you.
