Today we responded to two schools in reference to threats of violence. Two students are in custody. We take threats of violence towards our schools seriously. These types of threats will be thoroughly investigated and appropriate legal action will be pursued.

Today, we remember those who tragically lost their lives in the September 11, 2001, attacks. We honor the brave first responders who made the ultimate sacrifice while protecting and serving on that terrible day. #NeverForget #BackTheBlue #HonorTheFallen #September11
