August 22nd Agenda - https://5il.co/20jtx
Dear Parents and Guardians,
We want to inform you of an incident that occurred earlier today at Abbeville High School. While we understand that this may cause concern, we want to assure you that the safety and well-being of our students and staff remain our utmost priority.
Earlier today, a bomb threat was made against our school through a computer-generated message. In response, our dedicated team of district administrators, school administrators, local city police, and the county sheriff's department immediately collaborated to ensure the safety of everyone on our campus.
As a precautionary measure, the school was promptly placed on lockdown to secure the perimeter and assess the situation. At the recommendation of law enforcement, we also placed all schools on lockdown for a brief period of time. Once law enforcement completed an extensive exterior search and determined that the premises were safe, students were evacuated in an orderly and controlled manner.
Subsequently, an interior search was conducted by law enforcement professionals. We are pleased to share that this search yielded no evidence of any threats or hazards within the school building. Based on their thorough evaluation, it was deemed safe for students and staff to return to their classrooms, and normal operations have resumed at all schools.
We understand that situations like these can be unsettling, and we greatly appreciate your patience, cooperation, and understanding during this time. Our school's emergency response protocols, coupled with the swift and coordinated efforts of law enforcement, played a pivotal role in ensuring the safety of our students and staff.
Please know that we take all threats seriously, and every measure was taken to guarantee the security of our school environment. Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. Thank you for your ongoing support.
All lockdowns have ended. All students are safe. We will resume a normal schedule at this time.
Abbeville High School is currently locked down. Law enforcement is on the scene. All students are safe at this time. We will give you an update once we have more information.
Just a reminder that:
Representatives from the (SCSBA) South Carolina School Board Association will be at Wright Middle School on Tuesday, August 15, and at Cherokee Trail Elementary School on Wednesday, August 16, at 6:00 p.m. for a community meeting to discuss the Superintendent's Search.
The Abbeville County School District Board of Trustees has retained the South Carolina School Boards Association (SCSBA) to assist in their search for a new Superintendent. In a collaborative and community-minded spirit, the Board of Trustees is seeking input
from district and community stakeholders as an essential element of the search process.
An online survey will be available for you to share your input as well. Here is the link:

Anyone wishing to provide any additional comments or ask specific questions may email Judy LeGrand, SCSBA Superintendent Search Coordinator, at jlegrand@scsba.org. All comments and suggestions will remain anonymous. SCSBA will compile the information received from the online survey and the focus groups and report the results to the Board of Trustees.
