KENTUCKY — Ryle High School is experiencing an increased law enforcement presence this week after a “veiled threat” was identified last week, according to Boone County Schools.

District officials said additional police officers are on campus and will remain there throughout the week as a precaution.

While the specific details of the threat were not released, school officials stated that law enforcement has not been able to verify that a credible threat exists.

Boone County Schools said parents and guardians were notified about the situation and informed of the added security measures being taken at the school. District leaders emphasized that the increased police presence is intended to ensure student and staff safety while authorities continue to monitor the situation.

No further information has been released at this time.
