From there, the district conducted an investigation and contacted law enforcement and the parents of the students whose names were listed on the matter.
Following their investigation, Hernandez sent an updated memo to parents and the community on Thursday, saying they had filed charges against the now-former Knippa ISD student.
Hernandez told KSAT that the former student faces terroristic threat charges.
At this time, it’s unknown what the severity of the threats was or if the fifth-grader expressed them to the names on the list.
