PCSD Produces Video Series on Safety Threats

Video 2 - Online/Social Media Threats

The Paulding County School District, in partnership with Paulding County Government and the Paulding County Sheriff's Office, is producing a series of public service announcement videos about the ongoing epidemic of students making both verbal and online threats to school safety. These threats have become especially prolific since the tragedy at Apalachee High School in Barrow County on September 4th. The lesson of these videos is that any type of message that threatens the safety of students and staff, whether spoken or posted online, and whether intended seriously or not, is no joke and will result in serious consequences. The first PSA video dealt with verbal threats. The second video, linked below, addresses online threats, and the third video will address how students should respond when they see or hear threats to school safety. All middle and high school students have seen the first video and will see the second video this week.

All three threat PSAs will be uploaded here as they are released:

Making threats to the safety of students and staff, whether spoken or posted online, and whether intended seriously or not, is no joke and will result in serious consequences.
Making threats against public schools is a felony crime.
If you see a threat on social media or anywhere online, never share or repost that threat. Do not forward it to your friends. If you see something, say something to a teacher, an administrator, a safety officer, a parent, or any adult. Or, report it using the anonymous tip line by calling or texting 470-264-6152.
Also remember that we have counseling resources at our schools any time students need someone to talk to. There is also a national crisis hotline available 24/7 if you call or text 988.
