16,” the message stated in part.
“The police are helping us
investigate to make sure our
building is safe and to fi nd
whoever wrote the message.
We will have extra security
precautions in place and we
plan to have a normal, safe
school day. Please remind stu-
dents that making threats is
illegal, resulting in criminal
charges and school conse-
quences.”
Remy said on Wednesday
morning he could recall simi-
lar rashes of threats during his
10 years at the district.
“Unfortunately it’s a famil-
iar pattern,” he said. “When
one gets a lot of publicity, you
tend to see another one and
another one. You hope it stops
because of the impact on the
schools.”

Remy noted the investi-
gations into all three threats
are ongoing but suspects have
been identifi ed.
“We are feeling good about
our chances of holding the
students accountable for their
actions,” he said.
In general, the district is
vague in what the wording of
the threat is.
“One reason you don’t give
exact wording is you don’t
want to encourage copycats,
because then you will see
more of the wording popping
up elsewhere,” Remy said,
adding the diffi culty goes up
when students take pictures of
the graffi ti before it’s removed
and then share it via social
media. “Usually when the ex-
act wording doesn’t leak out,
usually the next one is not the
same wording or handwrit-
ing.”
