Police in El Dorado, Ark. are investigating a Facebook post on Sunday claiming that kids were going to be kidnapped and teachers shot and killed. 

According to a Facebook note by the El Dorado School District, police do not believe the threat to be credible, however they are taking extra security measures at all school campuses.

The school district says schools will continue to operate normally this week and police will be present at schools before, during and after hours of operation.
