CLARION TWP., Pa. (EYT) — Clarion-Limestone Superintendent Amy Glasl has issued a statement regarding a threat against the school board last month.

The following statement was issued on Monday:

“On Wednesday, September 18, 2019, District administration received information regarding a threat made against the Board of School Directors as a group, and the District Superintendent individually, by a group of students.  District administration promptly contacted the Pennsylvania State Police and began the process of calling the students’ parents to ascertain the students’ whereabouts.  Upon further investigation, the District, along with the assistance of the Pennsylvania State Police, determined that the students did not take any steps to act upon or carry out the threats.  The District is handling this incident in accordance with its policies.”

The threat resulted in the cancellation of the board’s regularly scheduled meeting on September 18.

Those in attendance at the meeting at 6:30 p.m. were greeted and asked to wait, as the school board members were in a meeting with Superintendent Amy Glasl discussing something that “required their immediate attention.”

Nearly one hour later, board members arrived at the meeting, but only for a brief time.

School Board President Molly Greenawalt then made an announcement that a threat had been made against the school board.

“Because of the seriousness of the threat and the scope of the legality involved, we have decided as a board that we are going to cancel tonight’s meeting,” Greenawalt stated.

Specific details on the threat were not released.
