Authorities investigating posible threat to Parkston Schools

Authorities are investigating a possible threat to Parkston Schools. Police Chief Corrinna Wagner says the district received a threat late Saturday night. She says Parkston Police, the Hutchinson County Sheriff’s Office, South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation and the FBI are involved in the investigation.

Wagner says at this time there is no apparent danger and school will start at its regular time Monday morning. She says she’ll be at the school as part of the investigation.

Parent Ann Jacobsen says she received a call from the school district shortly after 4pm Sunday. It acknowledged a threat of violence was made, yet did not appear to be credible.
