Students Behind Threats at Blue Mountain Identified

The Blue Mountain School District has announced that they have identified the students responsible for threats at the district.


According to an announcement from the district.

The Board of School Directors and Administration of the Blue Mountain School District would like to inform all concerned individuals that the students responsible for the threat that occurred yesterday as well as the threat occurring in mid-September have been identified. We are asking parents to talk to their son or daughter about the seriousness of these types of threats.

Students making these threats will face expulsion from school and may face felony charges, fines and fees potentially exceeding $20,000. The District wants all students to understand the consequences of making terroristic threats in our schools.

On Monday morning, a bomb threat was found in the girl’s bathroom at the high school. 

All students were evacuated and school officials coordinated a search with state police. 

Around 12:20pm, students began returning to class after officials and police completed a sweep of the school.
