Baltimore City Public Schools issued the following announcement on Dec. 17.
The district has been made aware of the recent anonymous TikTok challenge threatening violence in schools on Friday, December 17. We take any threat to the safety of our school community seriously. Schools will remain open, however, our staff and School Police will be closely monitoring school campuses.
Please take this opportunity to discuss digital safety as well as appropriate online behaviors with your students. With so much access to technology, we need to work together to make sure our students understand how powerful these tools are. We encourage the entire school community to report any threats you may become aware of.
Thank you for your continued support of our school community!
