South Park Families:
Overnight, South Park School District administrators were alerted to an alleged threat of gun violence made by a South Park Middle School student to another South Park Middle School student in a group iMessage.
This information was shared with district administrators and the South Park Township Police Department, who conducted a thorough investigation. There was no direct threat made to any of our schools or other students.
Classes will be held as scheduled in all district schools on Wednesday, April 26, 2023. The South Park Township Police Department will have an increased presence at South Park Middle School to ease any concerns. We will not share information about the students or potential disciplinary actions due to confidentiality laws.
The South Park School District takes every threat seriously, as the safety and well-being of our students and staff are always our first priority. Ensuring safe and secure learning environments is a cooperative effort between school staff and community members. We thank those who came forward to report the incident to school administrators and police.
We also extend our appreciation to the South Park Township Police Department for its response and investigation.
