Dear Swartz Creek Families,
A bomb threat made against the Swartz Creek High School Performing Arts Center from a social media account was reported today through OK2SAY. District administration worked in partnership with the Michigan State Police and local law enforcement, who conducted a thorough on-site investigation, including K9 sweeps of the building both inside and out.
The threat was determined to be NOT credible, and the individual responsible for the post is now in custody. Law enforcement confirmed the individual was not on school property at any time in the past 48 hours based on a GPS locator assigned to the individual. There is no ongoing threat.
Out of an abundance of caution, Metro Police will increase their police presence tomorrow at the high school.
We are grateful for the swift response of our local law enforcement partners and for the individual who reported the concern through OK2SAY.
We look forward to welcoming students and staff back for a normal school day tomorrow, Monday, April 13.
Sincerely,
Wayne Wright
Interim Superintendent, Swartz Creek Community Schools
