South E-Blast Reports Threatening Messages

South High Principal Stephan Bild sent out an e-blast Monday afternoon informing residents that "a threatening message" had been written on a bathroom wall earlier in the day, and assuring them that the matter has been resolved.

"The threat was written out of anger and aimed specifically at two students while referring to the upcoming school dance this weekend," Bild wrote. South's homecoming dance is scheduled for 7:30 to 10 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 25.

The school's deans and resource officers identified the threat's author, who admitted the action and "has received consequences," Bild wrote. 

"We fully believe that this incident has been successfully resolved and that there is no threat or danger regarding the upcoming dance," he wrote, adding that parents can contact him with questions or concerns.
