District News

Today at dismissal, we received a call stating there was a bomb in the Jr/Sr High School. Shortly after, a call from the same phone number said there was NOT a bomb in the building. We emptied the Jr/Sr High School and cancelled all after school activities for the evening. Pennsylvania State Police arrived with a K-9 unit and searched the building. They have determined the Jr/Sr High School building to be safe for reentry. We are continuing our investigation, and hope to catch the individual responsible for this idle threat. We feel very confident with the information that we have gathered so far, and believe we know exactly what took place with this situation. I will say firmly that anyone caught making a threat against our school district will be dealt with appropriately with the school disciplinary code and through law enforcement. We definitely do not take these situations lightly, and the safety of our students and staff is extremely important to us. Parents please take a moment to speak with your students about the seriousness of these situations. Thank you.

This evening we received an anonymous tip on the Safe2Say Something system regarding a threat to the Jr/Sr High School for tomorrow. Our team has done its due diligence investigating this tip and have determined it to be unfounded. We have found no current or past student in our system matching the name that was given in the tip. In an abundance of caution, we will have increased safety measures in place tomorrow. I do not share this information with you to cause a panic or have you worry, but rather to be very transparent and up front with all of you. Again, after investigating the information provided to us, we have determined this threat to be completely unfounded. Thank you.
