Attention Unit 9 Families:
In an effort to be transparent and proactive we would like to share with you information about possible threats. As you may or may not be aware, we have received automated voicemails threatening violence called into the Watseka Junior High office this week. Although these threats have been unfounded at this time, we have responded promptly and complied with local law enforcement policies and recommendations.
These occurrences have progressed to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the State Police in collaboration with our local law enforcement. Working together, Unit 9 is actively following up in investigating this issue. Please know that threats will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law when the investigation is closed.
Safety is our number one priority. All threats are taken seriously. We thank the Watseka Police Department as they have been and will continue to be providing extra security around our school premises and have provided us guidance in these situations.
As parents, you can help. Please take this opportunity to speak to your child about the
importance of school safety. While peer pressure is an influence at this age, we want to encourage students to feel comfortable reporting any information they may have about situations that may compromise their safety and the safety of others. Working together we can maintain an environment where students are free to focus on learning.
If you have any further questions, please reach out. Thank you for your support and assistance in keeping our schools safe for children.
Mr. Jeff Perzee, Watseka Junior High Principal
Mr. Travis Findlay, Watseka Community High School Principal
Mr. Kyle Nevills, WJH/WCHS Assistant Principal
Dr. David Andriano, Superintendent
