Welcome! The mission of Clay County Schools is Caring, Commitment, and Success

Statement from Superintendent Philip Dobbins: 9/13/24

 

Yesterday evening, a note was discovered in the hallway at Clay County High School that contained information that posed a possible threat to the safety of students and faculty at CCHS. At the time the decision was made to cancel school, law enforcement had not yet ascertained whether the threat was credible. Therefore, out of an abundance of caution, the decision was made to close all schools for students and staff. At the time of this statement, law enforcement has determined that the threat does not pose any immediate or imminent danger to students and staff or the public at large.

In regard to this evening’s home football game vs Roane County, the game will proceed as planned. In coordination with local law enforcement, we’ve arranged for additional law enforcement officials to be present at tonight’s game. State police officers, members of the Sheriff’s department and our school resource officers will all be in attendance this evening.
