A message from MILFORD SCHOOL DISTRICT
____________________________________________________________

Dear Families,
This morning, the high school entered a shelter-in-place at the request of the Police Department after a report was made to law enforcement claiming that a student had a gun in a school bathroom. The report was unverified, but out of an abundance of caution, police asked that the school secure the hallways so officers could respond and check the building.

The Police Department conducted a thorough search of the school, including the area connected to the report, and spoke with students and staff. Their review found no threat and no weapon.

The individual suspected to be responsible for this report has been detained in Tennessee and is in custody. The Milford Police Department is working with partners at the FBI and in Tennessee on the case.

The school remained safe throughout the police response, and the school returned to normal operations once police cleared the building.

We understand that situations like this can cause stress for students and families. We have support staff available for any student who needs to speak with an adult today.

We appreciate the partnership of our local police and thank our students and staff for following directions quickly and calmly.

If you have any questions, please contact the high school main office.

Sincerely,
Craig Consigli
Superintendent

Joshua Otlin
Principal
