GCS Superintendent Dr. Burke Royster and Sheriff Hobart Lewis ask
for parents’ help in ensuring effective reporting of potential threats.
The Chiefs of the six local municipal police departments join in full support.
We ask parents to monitor your child’s social media accounts closely,
help control the spread of false threats and misinformation, and ensure
effective reporting occurs. Having your child follow the See Something,
Say Something protocols by reporting potential threats directly to the
school or law enforcement will maximize the effective use of school and
law enforcement resources and ultimately create a safer environment
for all students.For full information, visit https://tinyurl.com/mryzx9xv.
