The Austin Independent School District is partnering with several neighboring school districts and law enforcement to host a press conference Friday morning where they'll address safety concerns.

Austin Independent School District and several other surrounding school districts are teaming up with the Travis County District Attorney's Office to address the rising concern about school threats.

A joint press conference was held to address these threats and provide information on their consequences and mental health impacts.

As schools face a widespread surge in violent threats, districts have rushed to respond through parent meetings, local press appearances, and videos of students urging their peers to be careful what they post online.
