All righty, here we go. I’ve compiled a lot of rumors that have been going around about this “situation” in the Danville Public Schools.<\/p>\n

Let’s recap what I’ve found out so far. This article will be updated if I can factcheck any other rumors.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If you have any rumors that you’d like factchecked, post them in the article comments.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. “There will be extra police presence at Danville schools tomorrow.” – <\/em>This one is TRUE<\/strong>. There will be extra officers at George Washington HS, and Bonner & Westwood Middle Schools. This will be in addition to the regular school resource officers and security personnel. There will also be staff from the central office assigned to the schools to help out. There will also be a Danville Public Schools employee inside the front entrance of every school.<\/li>\n
  2. “GW Principal Withers Jackson had his life threatened at the school today.”<\/em> – FALSE<\/strong>. This did not happen. Jackson said that this did not happen.<\/li>\n
  3. “A firearm was found during a search of GW today (or) A student showed a gun at GW today.”<\/em> – Any version of this rumor is FALSE<\/strong>. No weapons were found in any manner at GWHS today.<\/li>\n
  4. “A gun was found at the Danville Public School central office (at some time)<\/em>” – I have spoken to the Danville Police Department and this is also FALSE<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Four factchecks down. I’m glad to work on any others that you send me.<\/p>\n
