MCMINNVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A student at Centertown Elementary School in Warren County has been "removed from the building" after allegedly using "threatening language" at the school.
According to Warren County Schools, school staff were made aware of a situation involving the student using threatening language. Warren County Director of Schools Dr. Grant Swallows said staff worked with local law enforcement, and the student was removed from the building.
There was no "actual means" for the threat the student made to be carried out, according to Swallows, and students were never in danger.
However, Swallows said the language used by the student is prohibited by state law and "will be handled accordingly."
The school is safe, and all school activities are moving forward as scheduled, Swallows said.
State officials passed a law earlier this year making threats of mass violence against a school or on school property a Class E felony. The law went into effect July 1, 2024.
Since then, multiple students in Middle Tennessee have been arrested for making threats against their schools, particularly in the Nashville area.
Another student disciplined in Marion County is now at the center of a lawsuit against the school threat law.
