The appropriate response when coming across an alleged threat is to, report it to a school administrator or call 9-1-1, immediately. Knowingly sharing a (real or fake) threat can also result in the person being arrested and charged with felony offenses, including false report of emergency and intent to terrorize, which include being sent to juvenile hall and a fine up to $10,000.00. Posting and spreading false rumors about threats causes unnecessary fear, a disruption of the school day, and wastes valuable resources. “It is also illegal to post or repost an alleged threat on social media, before the information has been reported and investigated. Even if the threat is determined non-credible, the student making the threat will be subject to disciplinary action.” All threats shared on social media will be investigated by the police to determine if the threat is credible. “Too often, students think they are being funny when making threatening social media posts. When a threat occurs, whether or not it is found credible, we will investigate and prosecute to the fullest extent of the law.” We have absolutely zero tolerance for anyone who makes a comment that threatens a student, group of students or school community.
