A photo submitted by several sources purports to show a threat scrawled on the wall of a boys bathroom at Ooltewah High School. Ooltewah High School Principal Jim Jarvis sent an email to parents of students at the school tonight informing them of two additional threats of a shooting written on a bathroom wall today.
This is the third time in two school days that a threat of a shooting on March 1, 2016, has been written on a bathroom wall at the school.
“At this time neither school officials nor the local law enforcement officials place any validity to the threats,” Jarvis wrote in the email. “However, as previously planned, Ooltewah High School will have additional police presence on campus and in our buildings on Tuesday, March 1st.”
Jarvis continued to say that Tuesday will be a regular school day “and we will continue to be involved in the business of educating students.”
Despite telling parents there will be increased law enforcement at the school tomorrow, Chattanooga Police say they have not been directly notified by school officials about the threats.
