For clarification; There was an electronic threat at the black history assembly at Spiro today. Due to the specificity of the threat, the delivery method, the lack of access to the facility, and previous information, we were confident in what we were dealing with. Proper authorities were contacted, and the perpetrator confessed to the prank. Spiro Public Schools takes the safety of our students with the utmost seriousness and appreciate students who were willing to help with information regarding this issue. Parents and Guardians, PLEASE have a conversation with your children about the severity of cell phone pranks and encourage them to talk to an adult if they hear of any intentions of this nature. Thank you for your help and support. If you have any questions or would like to speak to me directly, please feel free to contact me at 918-962-2463 Sincerely, -- Richard Haynes Spiro Schools Superintendent

Parents and Guardians: Last night a person with a firearm was located on south Denver. Law enforcement tried to apprehend him and he escaped. The school campus has been cleared this morning and was heavily patrolled all night last night. We have taken all appropriate precautions and will continue to do so through out the school day until we receive further information. We will keep you updated as we receive further information.
