Bethel Bee Supporters,
It has come to our attention that there is a national TikTok message regarding the threat of school shootings in America on December 17. This threat is not specific to Bethel Local Schools, but nonetheless, we take matters of safety very seriously. For additional information on this and the district plan, please see the following letter from Mr. Justin Firks, Superintendent of Schools: https://5il.co/13abx
