Tyler ISD school board seats for Districts 1, 3, and 6 will be up for election in May 2025. Current officeholders include R. Wade Washmon, Yvonne Atkins and Lindsey Harrison.

Tyler Legacy High School is not under an active shooter alert, but security has been increased as a vague social media post is under investigation.

Jennifer Hines, Tyler ISD chief communications officer, said there is a rumor circulating on Snapchat about an active shooter; however, the post shows no specific information to the Tyler Legacy or even Tyler.

She said the post could be talking about any school anywhere, and at this time, there is no validity to the rumor.

“Out of an abundance of caution, we have increased security while this potential threat is being investigated,” Hines said. “We are working with local law enforcement to look into the validity of this social media post.”

A letter to parents about the situation will be sent out soon, Hines said.
