Burke County High School recently issued the following announcement.
This morning, a parent of a student at Burke County Middle School reported to School Administrators, what they believed to be was suspicious activity. The parent discovered a PowerPoint referencing “How to be a Monkie” being circulated amongst several students.
Within the PowerPoint was several meaningless phrases, emojis and images of monkeys. Of the 27 slides in the PowerPoint presentation, one slide depicted the image of a monkey’s head on a human’s body holding a handgun and the phrase “Now you shoot up a school with 9mm.”
This is believed to be an isolated incident and has no direct connection to the previous threats received by the Burke County High School on December 2, 2021.
Burke County Public Schools will administer disciplinary action and BCSO has contacted the Georgia Department of Juvenile Justice with a referral of Disruption of a Public School because of the students’ actions.
The BCSO will continue to work with BCPS to ensure a safe learning environment for our students, staff, faculty, and community. We ask that all personnel continue to remain vigilant and to report any suspicious activity or pertinent information to school personnel or law enforcement.
