Last night it was reported that a student heard from another student that a threat was made toward Central Park Middle School. Our CEOs were immediately contacted and they investigated. Following the investigation, it was determined that the threat was not credible at this time, meaning there was no intent to follow through or cause harm.
We take every threat seriously. Please continue to remind students if they see or hear something that seems suspicious to always report it.
