Please take note of this critical announcement from Sheriff Jeff Cassidy, President of the TN Sheriff's Association, regarding school threats.
We have received several concerns about a social media post tonight regarding a potential threat at Camden High. The Benton County School system and local law enforcement agencies are actively and thoroughly investigating the allegations.
There is no evidence of a threat against any Benton County school at this time. However, as a precaution, law enforcement will be present in increased numbers at schools tomorrow.
Remember to check the school website or app to see what's on the menu for breakfast and lunch in September. All students will enjoy free breakfast and lunch this year.
