Early Childhood Screenings are coming up!

Multiple law enforcement agencies across Kansas, including the Linn County Sheriff’s Office, have received reports of a male with a gun in the restroom at their local high schools. Our SRO has been in contact with the Linn County Sheriff’s office And these threats have been determined to be a hoax. Out of an abundance of caution, searched Prairie View High School we are being diligent in our safety measures and determined our high school to be safe and secure. Our local law enforcement will continue to monitor the situation and our SRO will maintain a presence at the school today.
