El Departamento de Educación Católica se ha enterado de una publicación preocupante que ha sido compartida esta semana en la plataforma de redes sociales TikTok entre estudiantes por todo el país.  Esto ha sido parte de una tendencia nacional de TikTok y, hasta donde sabemos, no se originó localmente. Mientras no creemos que la amenaza sea creíble en este momento en nuestra comunidad local, estamos monitoreando cercanamente la situación y tomándola en serio. La publicación se refiere a una amenaza a la seguridad "para todas las escuelas en los Estados Unidos, incluso la primaria", el viernes 17 de diciembre.

The Catholic Education Department has become aware of a troubling post that is being shared this week on the social media platform TikTok. This has been part of a national TikTok trend and to our knowledge did not originate locally. While we do not believe the threat to be credible at this time in our local community, we are closely monitoring the situation and taking it seriously. The post refers to a threat to school safety “for every school in the USA, even elementary,” on Friday, December 17.
