“I want to let you know about a situation we are dealing with on campus regarding a possible threat that showed up on Instagram. Several students and parents have come forward to let us know about the post. We have identified the student whose account the threat originated from, and we are in contact with the student’s family. The North East Police Department is investigating along with us and they do not believe there is any credibility to this threat.
