From the Dixon Police Department: September 13, 2024 PRESS RELEASE UPDATE The Dixon Police Department and the Dixon Public Schools are aware there are now additional Snapchat messages that are circulating regarding the Dixon High School and the Reagan Middle School as well. The department has the screenshots of these Snapchat messages that stated, “DHS 2024 school shooters list got some info then did some things and I can confirm were on the list of 2024 school shootings. There doing it in gangs of got some info in sterling and I can confirm its true.” In speaking with the Sterling Police Department, they confirmed the original Snapchat is linked to a national social media post circulating on Snapchat. Through their investigation, there was NO information or evidence showing or indicating there was a “School Shooters List.” These messages are currently circulating amongst students locally. At this time, the Dixon Police Department with the assistance of the Dixon Public Schools Administration will continue to investigate and attempt to locate the source of these new messages that are being sent. With any comment(s) or threat, the safety and security of our students and staff is our utmost priority and we take any threats with the utmost seriousness. Out of an abundance of caution, several Dixon Police Department marked squad vehicles and officers will be present at Madison Elementary, Reagan Middle School and the Dixon High School as the students and staff returned to school next week. This is an ongoing investigation. Anyone with any information is encouraged to contact the Dixon Police Department at (815) 288-4411. DIXON POLICE DEPARTMENT STEVEN C. HOWELL, JR. CHIEF OF POLICE E-Mail schowell@dixonpd.com PRESS RELEASE REAGAN MIDDLE SCHOOL Dear Reagan Middle School Families, We want to inform you that on the evening of Thursday, September 12th, 2024, Sterling Public Schools were made aware of a potential threat at their middle school. Sterling Public Schools and the Sterling Police Department took this situation very seriously and thoroughly investigated the matter. Their investigation determined that the threat is highly likely to be linked to a national social media post circulating on Snapchat, rather than a local, targeted concern. While there are no reported threats to Reagan Middle School, we want to assure you that Dixon Public Schools and the Dixon Police Department are taking this matter seriously. While this post continues to circulate, there have been no reported threats at Reagan Middle School or any of the Dixon Public Schools. As a precaution, we will be increasing our vigilance and will have extra administrative and police presence in and around our building. The safety of our students and staff remains our top priority, and we will continue to work closely with local authorities to ensure that all necessary precautions are taken. We also encourage you to remind your children of the importance of reporting any suspicious behavior or concerns to an adult immediately. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the school office. Thank you for your understanding and continued support as we work together to maintain a safe school environment.
