Update: Our local law enforcement has confirmed that there was NO threat to Jackson County Schools in West Virginia. After further investigation, the threat originated from an individual in Texas talking about similar named schools in our county.
Thank you for your patience regarding this matter. Have a wonderful day.
Good morning. This is Will Hosaflook, Superintendent of Jackson County Schools. Around 1:00 a.m. this morning, Jackson County Schools was notified by the State Police and the FBI Fusion center of a possible threat targeting our schools. Jackson County Schools and the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department have been working throughout the night to gather information about the threat to take immediate action for today’s classes. We know that the threat found on Twitter was very vague and came from an individual in the Southwest region of the United States. However, regardless of the threat’s credibility, we feel it is necessary to inform our employees and families that we are heightening our standard safety protocols and will have an increased presence of law enforcement officers in our schools today. If information should change, I will contact you immediately.
Thank you, and have a wonderful day.
Good evening. Ripley Elementary School is scheduled to open for students on Monday, August 29. We are waxing the main lobby this weekend, one of the last outstanding items to complete. We have received confirmation from the West Virginia Dept. of Education, and West Virginia DEP that the air quality is good and all disturbed asbestos has been removed. Once again, thank you for your patience on this matter as we strive to ensure a safe learning environment for our students and employees.
Thank you, and have a wonderful weekend.
Good Evening this is Will Hosaflook, Superintendent of Jackson County Schools. Unfortunately, my optimism was defeated today as we encountered problems at Ripley Elementary School that will require extra work and supplies required to open the school. In the best interest of having a safe learning environment for all students and staff, Ripley Elementary School will be closed for students the rest of this week. Our maintenance department and other staff have worked tirelessly to prepare the school for opening day and I applaud their effort. However, school safety is our top priority. I truly apologize for this delay and will keep you updated as we near opening day for Ripley Elementary School on Monday, August 29, 2022.

I am pleased to announce that we have met our goal. Ripley Elementary will be open for students and employees on August 24th.
Also, you will receive communication on Monday from Ripley Elementary School regarding a time and date parents and students can visit the school on Tuesday.
Thank you, and have a wonderful evening.
