Dear World Scholars Community,
We want to inform you that South Texas ISD World Scholars has received an allegation of a possible threat to campus safety. At this time, there is no immediate danger, and all students and staff are safe.
On Monday, Jan. 20, 2025, STISD contacted the Edinburg Police Department in reference to a potential threat of violence that was made against World Scholars. Out of an abundance of caution, security measures were increased in order to ensure the safety and well-being of all students, staff, and visitors. Law enforcement officials took swift action and immediately investigated the potential threat. Through the course of the investigation, a suspect was identified and arrested for Terroristic Threat that same evening. The student arrested was not an STISD student.
We appreciate your patience and cooperation regarding today's water break line in the Edinburg Complex. We are happy to inform you that the issue has been resolved and that STISD World Scholars is back to normal operations.
