A Toledo Middle School student who made an unfounded threat Tuesday morning will be removed from the school, the Toledo School District has confirmed.
District staff were notified at about 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 17, that a student had “made a threat that was off the cuff, if you will,” Toledo Superintendent Brennan Bailey said at about 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday. “However, we wanted to fully investigate it.”
The Toledo School District “immediately followed safety protocols, working closely with law enforcement to assess and address the situation,” Bailey said in a letter to parents sent out Tuesday morning after the situation was resolved.
The Lewis County Sheriff’s Office responded to Toledo Middle School to conduct “a thorough investigation,” including searching students’ backpacks, and determined “that there is no ongoing threat to our school community,” Bailey said.
“We want to assure you that the situation has been handled swiftly and effectively, and at no time were any students in danger,” Bailey wrote in the letter to parents.
