Parents and guardians of CMS Students who ride bus 19-02, If your student normally rides Bus 19-02 to school in the morning, please be aware that they will continue to ride Bus 14-05 until further notice.

FCSC Students, Staff, and Families, Our CMS administrators were made aware of a possible threat made by a student. Law enforcement immediately began an investigation. Both the city and county law enforcement agencies have been directly involved in this ongoing investigation. We do not take any threat directed towards our students, staff, or schools lightly, and this situation has been turned over to law enforcement and our prosecutor at this time. As we do each day, we have a law enforcement officer onsite at Connersville Middle School, and we have asked for additional police presence to help our students, staff, and families feel secure as we return to school on Monday morning. CMS will open on a regular schedule tomorrow, and I want to reassure our families, staff, and community that the threat has been addressed to allow for the safe return of our students and staff. On behalf of the Fayette County School Corporation, I want to thank our city police department and sheriff's department for their support of our school safety initiatives and for their quick response to any emergency situations or threats that may arise. Scott Collins Superintendent Fayette County School Corporation
