(KNZA)--The Board of Education for the South Brown County Schools looks to improve methods used in times of an emergency.

That follows the voicing of patron concerns during this week's meeting of the USD 430 Board of Education.

According to the minutes for the session, patrons Lucas Heinen and Carrie Miller addressed the Board in regards to the handling of a recent, rumored threat at the Horton High School.

Heinen wants to see an improvement in communication, while Miller suggested the implementation of stronger policies.

Board President Jason Smith, following an executive session at Monday's meeting, addressed the concerns.

He said the Board is looking at ways to make improvements in the handling of such situations in the future.

The rumor of the threat was brought to the attention of school officials on the evening of April 4.

Patrons that evening were notified through text message of the threat which was found to not be credible.

Despite the findings by law enforcement, a strong police presence was put in place at the Horton High School the following morning.
