This is an update from Lincoln County Schools on Duval PK-8:
Duval PK-8 administration and Lincoln County Schools worked with the West Virginia State Police last night and into the morning to identify where the threatening message originated. Throughout the investigation, it was determined a student’s Schoology account was compromised, and the source of the message was located.
After learning where the message originated, the decision was made to have school at Duval PK-8 today as normal. However, as an added precaution, Lincoln County Sheriff Deputies and West Virginia State Troopers were present this morning at the school.
LCS and Duval PK-8 would like to thank our local law enforcement who actively engaged in the investigation and provided support. We also want to thank the entire Duval staff and students for having a productive day of school in light of the situation.
This is a message from Lincoln County Schools:
At 9:00 tonight (11/29), Lincoln County School Administrators were made aware of a threatening post in a Duval PK-8 Schoology Class Discussion Room. West Virginia State Police quickly began an investigation into the post. After speaking with law enforcement, Duval PK-8 will proceed as usual tomorrow; however, there will be additional troopers at the school.

This afternoon (11/28), 911 received a report of a bomb threat to a school. West Virginia State Police arrived at Guyan Valley Middle School shortly after. The school was placed into a precautionary lockdown while officials quickly investigated. The threat was determined to be low credibility and the precautionary lockdown was lifted. Thank you.
