MOUNDS, Okla. — Mounds Public Schools announced evening activities resume on Monday, Jan. 27., and classes resume on Tuesday, Jan. 28.

The district canceled classes on Monday after a threat.

In a post, the district said it had been made aware of a threat, and chose to cancel classes and evening activities out of "an abundance of caution."

In a statement to district families, Mounds Public Schools superintendent Stephen E. Sturgeon elaborated on the threat, saying in part:

Although the Mounds Police Department determined the threat was not credible, I understand this event has caused worry and concern. I decided to close school today (Monday, January 27) after a Mounds student received a personal verbal threat over the weekend. Law enforcement officers – who worked directly with the student’s family during their comprehensive investigation – determined the threat was not credible and that it was safe for us to resume our schedule. Because this involved an individual student, I am unable to share additional information at this time.

The district also said parents and students might notice an increased police presence on campus as activities and schools resume. The district called it a "normal precautionary measure."
