In a letter to students, staff and families, the district said it was notified about a potential threat toward the school and it started circulating on social media.

“School administration, district security and local law enforcement immediately began investigating to determine the validity of the statement. Law enforcement made contact with the student in question and the investigation is ongoing. It’s important to note that the student in question will not be attending school, or permitted on district property, during the investigation,” the district said.
