An Austin ISD student was arrested for alleged threats against Akins Early College High School this week. The student, who is under 18, is facing two felony charges.
An Austin ISD student under 18 was arrested and charged with online impersonation and making a terroristic threat against Akins Early College High School, the school districtThe arrest comes a day after Austin ISD police placed the Akins campus in what’s known as a “hold,” meaning no one can leave or enter the campus. Law enforcement went from classroom to classroom. As a result of the investigation, the officers were able to find the student, the district tweeted.
Austin ISD added “at no time did the student have access to any weapons, and at no time were our students and staff in danger.”Tuesday the district had received an anonymous, threatening phone call. Ultimately, law enforcement said the threat was not credible.“Literally within a matter of seconds, there were a number of individuals on that campus to make sure students and staff were safe,” he said.
“Oftentimes we’re seeing these threats come in, they’re being considered not credible. We don’t want to get into that routine of this is just another threat there’s nothing to it,” Kathy Martinez-Prather said. “We don’t want school districts to do that.” With both school districts throughout Texas facing threats this week, Martinez-Prather points out typically there is an uptick in threats after a high-profile shooting such as the massacre at Robb Elementary in Uvalde. A gunman killed 19 children and two teachers.And, Martinez-Prather added, this is happening while school safety is top of mind for staff, students and their families.
“That’s why it’s really important that school districts, as part of their planning process, have procedures in place, have policies in place, for how they’re going to respond when a threat comes in but also how they’re going to communicate how they’re going to respond to parents,” she said.
