BLES has been made aware of yet another social media threat. It has been reported by the parents of several middle school and high school students. There is no information at this time to support any credibility to this post, or that it originated from our area. This is also not a specific threat to any of Browning Public Schools.

Parents- Social Media monitoring starts in the home. Please monitor the social media of your middle school and high school students. Police cannot physically be in your home to parent your children. Perform proactive parenting and set up restrictions on devices if needed. If you’re unsure about how to get those restrictions in place, seek the help of others that are technologically inclined. Remove social media privileges completely from devices if necessary. Be aware of social media trends- there is a national “challenge” for youth to make threats via social media and area students may be participating in those.

Tips for social media threats-
1. Tell your student not to share the threat. Instead, have them take a screenshot of the post and include the username of the person posting.
2. Report immediately to law enforcement.
3. Secure fi****ms in your home and ensure children do not have access to them.

Whether the threats are real or fake, BLES and our law enforcement partners are committed to working with Browning Public Schools to ensure the safety of all staff and students. We take each threat seriously and investigate them thoroughly. We will also continue to follow the safety plan that is in place and be present during school hours and sporting events as previously decided.

Thank you,

Chief Keller

The S.1987 - Fort Belknap Indian Community Water Rights Settlement Act of 2024 has passed the Senate, which is good news for Fort Belknap. The St. Mary's diversion repair is included, but it seems the $250 million for the Blackfeet Tribe's wastewater infrastructure has been removed, as I couldn't find any reference to it in the text
