A threatening Facebook post has Warren County Schools in Tennessee being extra cautious.
Dr. Bobby Cox, Director of Schools for Warren County confirmed the threat, which they found out about yesterday afternoon. He tells FOX 17 News that "We have a good plan in place."
Cox said county and city schools are taking precaution after someone threatened violence at the high school on the social media site. He says normally they have three School Resource Officers at the high school. Today, he says, they have added two more.
This morning there is one SRO at the elementary school, added two police officers at city schools and increased patrols.
Cox says that he does expect some absences today.
The post, which has since been taken down, was originally posted to the page of a former student who passed away, says Cox. TBI, who is tracking the page, believes it to be under a fictitious name.

Tishomingo County voters OK beer, alcohol sales
May 22, 2013 23:38 GMT
IUKA, Miss. (AP) -- Tishomingo County is the latest Mississippi jurisdiction to legalize alcohol sales.
Voters approved the sale of liquor, wine and beer Tuesday, reports the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal (http://bit.ly/13JCcix).
It wasn't clear referendums would pass until affidavit ballots were counted Wednesday.
With more than half Tishomingo County's voters casting ballots, legalizing alcohol passed by 42 votes, while legalizing beer and light wine passed by 73. The county borders Alabama and Tennessee.
Lawmakers legalized liquor at a proposed resort at the county's Bay Springs Lake in 2010, but it wasn't built.
Greene County voters legalized beer sales last year, while Corinth, New Albany and Senatobia have legalized alcohol sales under a 2012 law that allows cities to hold votes.
Mississippi has 13 remaining counties that allow no beer or alcohol sales.
