Marble Falls Middle School administration said it was aware of a non-specific threat made via social media against the school around 9:45 a.m. on Sunday.

School officials said in an email they immediately notified local law enforcement to assess and address the threat.

After the district and law enforcement investigated the threat claim, they ultimately determined the threat no longer exists.

Marble Falls ISD Superintendent Chris Allen released this statement:

We consider student safety paramount and at no time will consider threats to be a joke. There are serious consequences associated with threatening a school and/or student, and this would be a good time to remind our students of such. Great schools exist in great communities, and we thank you for all of your support.

Bruce Peckover, the Director of Communications for Marble Falls ISD, said Marble Falls PD and Burnet County Sheriff’s were at the school Monday morning as a precaution, but nothing happened.
