Anybody know more information. It says somebody wrote a threat in the bathroom and students took pictures of it and shared it online. Has anyone seen the actual threat? Here is the email from Penny Gros
Dear Parents,
We continue to work closely with Fairfax County Police as we investigate the threat found in a student bathroom yesterday. To give you more specific information, the threat was written in pencil on a toilet paper dispenser in a bathroom that is rarely used during the instructional day. The threat was specific to Friday, June 8th. We have interviewed several individuals and, at this time, there is no reason to believe students and staff are at risk. We believe this was only meant to disrupt school operations. However, all threats are taken seriously and significant resources have been expended in trying to resolve this matter. We appreciate the support we’ve received from the police and the FCPS Office of Safety and Security in working through this incident.
We do understand that this threat, after being posted to social media, has created anxiety among our parents and students. At the same time, we hope you recognize that our goal is to always be as transparent as possible in matters related to the safety of students and staff. As a precaution, we are going to have additional security and police presence at our school on Friday to provide reassurance to students and staff. Our plan is to continue to have normal school operations today, tomorrow and Friday. We will continue to encourage our students to notify a teacher, administrators and/or a member of our security team any time they have information which could potentially compromise the safety and security of Stuart High School. Please reinforce this message at home.
Thank you for your cooperation and support. We will communicate with you again as we have additional information to share.
