Earlier today, a student at Fannin Middle School ran from the building. The situation required the
involvement of the school administration and other community first responders. The situation was quickly
contained, and the student is safe.
At no time was there any danger to other students, staff, or the school community. We appreciate the swift
response of our School Resource Officer, the Fannin County Sheriff’s Office, Fannin County EMS, the
Blue Ridge Police Department, and the Fannin County Middle School team.
