This afternoon, Giddings Middle School received a call from a parent that received a bogus text that there might be a school shooting as GMS. The Giddings Police Department was immediatly notified and began investigating. The Giddings Police Department has determined thus far that this number may be linked to an unverifiable account. Giddings Police Department has concluded that there is no credible threat at this time. GPD will continue its investigation and GPD and GISD will continue to keep the safety of our students and staff as our top priority.
There is a GMS football game this evening and we will have extra security at the game.

NOTICE OF FALSE ALERT AT GIDDINGS I.S.D.
(For Immediate Release 9/10/2024)
Ray DeSpain, Ed. D., GISD Superintendent
Late yesterday afternoon, the Lee County Sheriff’s Department received a
message alleging that a student had been overheard making a threat to do harm at the
school. School personnel were immediately alerted, and we began a full investigation in
cooperation with law enforcement personnel. That investigation went late into the
evening yesterday, and continued through lunch time today. At no time was there ever any credible evidence of danger to any student or staff member, nor was there any weapon involved or threat of harm verified.
In the future, we respectfully request that any person with credible knowledge of
an incident or threat is encouraged to report it to appropriate school personnel or law
enforcement instead of posting on social media. Rest assured that we will always do
our due diligence to make sure all students and staff are safe at all times – which is our
number one priority as school administrators. Giddings ISD whole heartedly believes in the Homeland Security slogan of: “If you see something, say something.” However, repeating rumors and spreading false information with no credibility only creates fear and makes it more difficult for the District to respond in these type situations.
