School threat email reportedly gets no response from TPS

After the tragedy in Florida this week, a concerned parent of a Thoreau Middle School student wants answers at to why she never heard back from Tulsa Public Schools regarding an email she sent them.

We're not going to name the parent, but she sent an email to TPS along with a screen shot showing an Instagram conversation where a student appeared to threaten a shooting.

“Somebody got it because it was sent on my end,” the parent said.

“I’m not sure where the disconnect was in the case here, but we take all of our reports about concerns or any type of threats extremely serious,” a TPS officer said.

TPS police tell us they're not sure what happened, but threats are a priority.

The district is looking into the matter.

There is some good news for parents. It turns out someone else also reported the student for the same thing. District leaders say appropriate disciplinary action was taken in that instance.
