Dear Green Island UFSD Community,
At approximately 9:30 this morning, several school districts in the Tri-County area, including Green Island UFSD, received a threatening swatting email stating bombs were placed in schools across the state.
Swatting is a malicious act where someone makes a hoax emergency call (in this case, an email), typically reporting a serious threat or crime at another person’s location, often resulting in a SWAT team response.
Green Island immediately contacted law enforcement and our local and county police and conducted a sweep of Heatly School. After further investigation, they deemed the threat non-credible. All students and staff are safe.
We always put the safety of our students and staff first. We will continue to update you with information as soon as possible.
Thank you,
Heatly School
