Threat Investigated and Found to not be Credible

Threat Investigated and Found to not be Credible

It came to my attention earlier this evening that there was an alleged non-specific gun threat made to the District by a student. The police were contacted immediately and began an investigation. As a result of that investigation the police have determined that the alleged gun threat was not credible.

This alleged threat seems to be the result of an online/snap chat share which was circulated and may still be circulating.

I just want to reiterate that per the Fallsburg Police Department, the alleged gun threat is not credible and schools will be in session tomorrow for in-person instruction as normal. 

I would like to take a moment to thank the Fallsburg Police Department and the FCSD Administrative staff for addressing this alleged threat quickly and getting it resolved quickly.  I would also like to thank the school community members who shared this information with me and other administrators because it is through this type of quick communication that we can act quickly in the midst of a threat, real or not.

Thank you.

Dr. Katz
