Out of an abundance of caution in response to a general safety threat made to schools in the South Texas area, Laredo ISD and United ISD will be releasing students early today, Monday, August 28th as follows:

1. High schools at 12:30 PM

2. Middle schools at 1:00 PM

3. Elementary schools at 1:30 PM

Any threat received is taken seriously, therefore, local and federal law enforcement agencies as well as school district administration believe this early release is a precaution to ensuring the safety of students and staff.

Immediate investigation by local and federal law enforcement officials continues.

Plans are to resume classes tomorrow, August 29, 2023, upon completion of appropriate law enforcement agency facility checks.
