Social media threat toward Hays High found to be false

After a threat discovered on social media was found to be unrelated to Hays CISD schools, district officials are encouraging parents and students to remain vigilant.

On Thursday, Hays High students reported seeing a post on Snapchat showing two guns in a backpack or satchel with the words, "ready for school tomorrow."

The post was referencing the National School Walkout to protest gun violence scheduled for April 20, said Tim Savoy, Hays CISD public information officer.
