All schools in Covington Independent Public Schools were closed today after the high school received a mom threat over social media, according to Covington schools spokesperson, Debra Vance, director of communications and equity.
Law enforcement is investigating and the schools will be searched today.
“Although the threat was vague and anonymous, safety is of paramount importance and I will always err on the side of caution,” Superintendent Alvin Garrison said. “The safety of our student and staff comes first.”
