The following is an important message from Superintendent Sandra “Sam” Himmel:

My staff received information about a Snapchat photo circulating on social media Wednesday night of an unidentified person holding a weapon with the caption “Don’t go to school tomorrow. CSMS be careful.” We are working with the Sheriff’s office to identify the individuals responsible for the post. The Citrus County School system investigates all threats and if the individuals responsible are students, they will be held accountable under the student code of conduct as well as possible criminal charges as determined by the Citrus County Sheriff’s office. There is an increased security presence at Citrus Springs Middle School today. I encourage parents to have conversations with your students regarding the seriousness of this type of behavior. Students should never repost photos of this nature and should always contact school personnel or the Sheriff’s office.
