Additional investigation by law enforcement led them to ascertain that the individual idd not have the means to carry out the threat.
“The individual who allegedly made the threat has school and legal consequences pending. Based on current information, we believe that there is no credible threat to our students, staff, or building. This is a serious matter which is not taken lightly by the administration or law enforcement.
“School safety is our utmost priority, which is why our school district’s working relationship with local law enforcement is so important. Keep in mind that any threat or alleged threat should be shared as soon as possible with administration, teachers, or local law enforcement so that it can be investigated fully.
