Rockville Centre School District Superintendent Matt Gaven sent a letter out to parents on Thursday, alerting them of a threatening message found inside one of the bathrooms at South Side High School. It said that the message made threats toward the school community at a future date.
In response, Gaven explains that the district immediately contacted the Rockville Centre Police Department and Homeland Security, who determined there are no additional security measures that need to be put in place at this time.
"Our students and faculty are safe and will continue to follow normal school routines," Gaven said. "We will continue to cooperate with the police investigation to determine the origin of this threat and we will continue to follow the recommendations of the police and Homeland Security and the steps of our School Safety Plan. Please know that the continued health and safety of our students and faculty continues to be our highest priority."
