Franklin School District students may notice more police at their schools today.
The Illinois State Police and school district officials alerted parents last night that rumors had been circulating of a school shooting at Franklin School District was supposed to take place today. Authorities and school district officials say that after a thorough investigation, the rumors are unfounded.
According to a release from Superintendent Jeff Waggener, school district officials and the State Police were quick to investigate those reports and have deemed them “non-credible.”
As a precautionary measure, Waggener says a heightened police presence will be noticeable at the schools today.
