The Penn Yan School District says it was made aware of a potential threat to the school on Saturday morning.
Superintendent Howard Dennis said after its Administrative Team learned of the threat, the district alerted its School Resource Officer and law enforcement to ensure the safety of students and buildings. Investigators determined the source was non-credible and there were no further safety concerns for the district.
“The District will continue to follow all of our safety procedures aligned with the District-Wide Safety Plan,” Howard wrote in a post on the district’s Facebook page. “Every possible safety concern is taken seriously by the District and law enforcement. Individuals who threaten our schools will be treated accordingly by the authorities and under the policies of our Student Code-of-Conduct.”
