Commerce Independent School District (ISD) has addressed concerns about social media posts potentially threatening the safety of students and staff. After a thorough investigation conducted in collaboration with local law enforcement, the Commerce ISD Police Department confirmed that there is no credible threat to the safety of its students and staff.
The district initiated a comprehensive investigation upon discovering the concerning posts, working with multiple police agencies across the state. These agencies reviewed digital evidence, conducted interviews, and assessed all available information. The investigation has concluded that there is no immediate threat to the schools.
Commerce ISD emphasizes that the safety and security of students, staff, and the community are top priorities. To ensure a safe environment, dedicated police officers are stationed at each campus to address any concerns swiftly. The district encourages open communication with parents, students, and community members, and urges anyone with concerns to report them to school officials or local law enforcement.
The district also reminds parents to discuss the serious consequences of posting threatening messages with their children, as making threats against a school is a serious crime. Commerce ISD will take appropriate action if any student is found responsible for such posts.
