This afternoon, the administration of Mary Persons High School learned of a social media post by a student which contained concerning and potentially threatening language against the school.

Under normal school protocols, the issue was immediately investigated and law enforcement officials were called.

The student has been identified, has been removed from the school, and also is being questioned by law enforcement.

Under federal regulations, the school system cannot reveal information about students.

We encourage students, parents, and the community to report any potential concerns to the school or law enforcement.  Safety is our top priority for Monroe County Schools.
