📰 News we're reading
• Putnam police increase presence at schools following another unfounded threat (theday.com) — Putnam police are stepping up their presence at all public schools after another bomb threat, sent from a compromised student email account, was deemed non-credible. Officials say similar online threats have recently targeted Putnam and other eastern Connecticut districts, and emphasize that investigations show no local students were behind the messages.
