GOBLES, Mich. — Gobles Middle and High School will have a higher police presence on the campuses Wednesday, after the district received information about potential threats against the schools.

In a statement released by Gobles Public Schools administration stated “after investigation, the administration and Van Buren County Police have determined both situations to NOT be credible.”

Although the authorities believe these two separate threats were not credible, the district said “as a precaution, we will have police presence in the district tomorrow, but plan to operate as normal and help to ensure that our kids feel safe.”

To anyone who hears these threats or sees something they believe is dangerous, administration said they encourage staff, students and communities to speak up and alert authorities to the situation.
