For Immediate Release:
The Beardstown MS/HS District Administration became aware of a handwritten bomb threat this
evening. The Beardstown Police Department, Cass County Sherriffs Department and the Illinois
Secretary of State Bomb Squad conducted a search of the entire campus with officers and bomb-sniffing
dogs. The search resulted in no credible threat to the safety of any of our students or staff. Student and
staff safety is the most important concern and every precaution possible was taken to ensure the
campus remains safe.
The search was conducted from 8:15 p.m. and lasted until 11:15 p.m. No students were at risk and
all school activities are able to resume as usual.
Thank You to all the law enforcement officers for their quick response.
