Dresden High School administrators received a report on Wednesday regarding a potential threat that led to the launch of an investigation by both the school and local law enforcement over the course of the week. Notification of the investigation was communicated to the parents of all Dresden High School students.
Local law enforcement has confirmed that all legal actions necessary will be taken based on the outcome of their investigation. There is no ongoing threat to the school. Safety protocols and procedures are in place to ensure the safety of students, faculty, and staff.
Director of Schools Jeff Cupples said that school policies and safety procedures are in place for a reason.
“The safety of students, faculty, and staff is the most important priority in our schools and communities. We are thankful to local law enforcement who do not tolerate threats to safety in our schools. Parents, please have a serious conversation with your child(ren) about school rules and appropriate behavior. Emphasize the importance of following these rules and reporting any concerns immediately. This is crucial for ensuring the safety of everyone at school," Director Cupples stated.
