To: Middle School Parent/Guardians Unfortunately, today we once again discovered a bomb
threat written on the wall of a rest room at the school at about 1:00 PM. Per
emergency procedures the building was evacuated and a search of the building, in
conjunction with bomb dogs, is being conducted at this time (about 2:10 PM). We
are hoping that after a search that does not disclose any device students will
be able to return to the building to get their possessions. We want to reiterate how seriously we take these threats
that interrupt the educational process and threaten our safety. We will be
discussing this issue with our students tomorrow and hope you will also
reinforce the seriousness of it with them. False bomb threats are a felony in
New York State, with a $5000 fine and a possible prison term. Although
pranksters seeking attention usually make these threats, the District will
pursue those guilty, in cooperation with the police, to the full extent of the
law and school process. The safety and security of our students and staff are our
top priority and we continue to be vigilant in all ways to protect them. Thank
you for your cooperation and patience. Bomb Threat Update: Wed., Nov. 3, 2004 The security search of the Middle School resulted in no device being found. Students will be excused form their homework and exams tomorrow, since their bookbags are in school. They will return in the morning to the room they were last in to retrieve any belongings.
