This evening an anonymous report was made through the OK To Say tipline referencing an overheard conversation which referred to the contents of an unidentified backpack at the high school. State police notified the Township Police, City Police, and school administration, who responded immediately. Based on the information provided, authorities conducted a search of the premises and video surveillance, and found no evidence to support the report. All concerns related to school safety are taken seriously. Authorities and school administration remind you to encourage students to continue to report any concerns related to school safety. Out of an abundance of caution, there will be an increased police presence on school campus on Thursday morning. If your child has any information related to this incident please encourage your child to report it to school staff.
