Last Wednesday morning, the Lynnfield Police Department was made aware of a threat shared via social media by a Lynnfield High School student.
High school administration was notified by LPD, and LPD followed established protocols to investigate the matter. Upon receiving the information, the student was immediately removed.
After an investigation led by LPD, in collaboration with school administration, it was determined that the threat was not credible and posed no danger to Lynnfield’s students, staff or school community.
Superintendent Tom Geary said the safety and well-being of Lynnfield students and staff remains its top priority, and while yesterday’s situation was resolved quickly and determined to be non-viable, he understands that such events can be unsettling.
Geary said he is grateful for the partnership with LPD and for their leadership, cooperation and swift response. He added that, as always, students, staff and families are encouraged to report any concerns directly to school administration or to LPD.
Geary said working together helps to maintain the safe and supportive learning environment that the Lynnfield community expects and deserves.
