Facebook Post 10/16/18

This morning, Tuesday 10/16, we learned that an anonymous potential threat had been posted on Facebook.  The Somerville Police Department was notified and conducted a thorough investigation and found that the potential threat was not targeted at Somerville.  It was also determined the potential threat was intended for a neighboring school district, which was deemed not credible after a complete investigation.

We continue to encourage anyone who uncovers a potential threat against our students, staff, schools, and/or community to come forward and report their concerns.  If you see something suspicious or concerning, please use the following guidelines to report it.

1. Take a screenshot of the message, including comments.
2. Note the platform used (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, etc.)
3. Note the username of the account holder who posted it as well as anyone who commented on the post.
4. Immediately report the information gathered above to the police and then immediately contact the school principal.
5. Do not share the post with your followers as additional posts may complicate the investigation.
