Today at approximately 1:45 p.m., Ayersville Schools received a threatening email from a terrorist organization indicating a bomb threat. Following emergency operation procedures, school officials immediately evacuated the building and contacted local authorities. Emergency responders were dispatched to the district, conducted a thorough sweep, and cleared it to resume normal operations.
School will be in session tomorrow. School counselors, mental health counselors, and other staff will be available for students that may need support while here.
For those that left things behind at the band and choir concerts, the building will be open from 4:30-7:00 p.m. tonight. Please enter through doors 23 (north student parking lot), 28 (old high school door), or 6 (band room door).
Thank you for the quick response from The Defiance County Sheriff’s Office, Highland Center Fire Department, and other off duty personnel. The safety of our school community is always our number one priority. We appreciate your patience and support at this time.
