Threat at Poland Seminary found not credible by authorities

POLAND

An automated call was sent to parents of students at Poland Seminary High School about a threat that was discovered Thursday afternoon, written on a door of the boys’ restroom.

School officials met with police and determined there was no imminent threat. “It wasn’t real threatening in nature,” Superintendent Don Dailey said. “It was very vague.”

The school has not been evacuated, but police presence was increased Friday at the high school, Dailey said. “We currently don’t feel it’s a credible threat,” he said.

Officials are also in the process of examining surveillance footage to see if they can find the person responsible. The culprit could be facing an inducing panic charge, Dailey said. “There would be some serious consequences.”

Dailey said it wasn’t a bomb threat and wasn’t geared toward one or more people. “It was just a statement of time and date and that’s about it.”
