South Park Families:
We have learned that there are additional rumors circulating regarding the alleged threat at South Park Middle School from over the weekend that the district notified families and staff about on Sunday, September 19. This alleged threat has been investigated by the South Park Township Police Department and handled according to the district’s code of conduct and policies by district administrators. Once again, there has been and currently is no credible threat of violence at South Park Middle School or any district school. The district will not share information about the student or any disciplinary action due to confidentiality laws.
The proliferation of rumors and misinformation, especially on social media, can cause panic in our schools and in the community. The district has been and remains fully committed to complete transparency in all areas, especially school safety. When the district is alerted to any possible threat, we share that information with families when we are able to do so in the course of any police investigation. We will always act with the safety of our students and staff as our first priority.
