HUTCHINSON, Kan. – Early this morning, a bomb threat was made to Central Christian School. Out of an abundance of caution, the school immediately evacuated students from the premises upon becoming aware of the threat and promptly contacted local authorities. While we did not believe this to be a credible threat, we took every precaution to ensure the safety of our students and staff.
The Hutchinson Police Department conducted a thorough sweep of the entire campus, including every classroom and all areas of the building, and found no device or evidence of a threat. We are extremely grateful for our partnership with the Hutchinson Police Department and for their quick, diligent response in ensuring the safety of everyone on campus.
The Police Department has shared with our administrative team that similar automated threats have been made to other schools across the country in recent days, including from the same phone number that contacted us. This information indicates that this was not a specific or targeted threat toward our school.
Dr. John Walker, Superintendent
