Threat To Milford School Determined To Be False

MILFORD, CT — Police and school officials have concluded that threats to school safety at Jonathan Law High School were false.

Information shared in social media posts, text messages and conversations referenced threats of safety to students and staff at the school.

"After countless hours of investigation, all claims have been disproved and found to be false," Milford School Superintendent Elizabeth Feser said. "In other words, not a single claim has been substantiated."

Feser and police officials ask people not to share false information online that could cause unnecessary alarm.

"Going forward, any student or parent who has first-hand knowledge that affects the safety and security of the school community, is encouraged to report it to the school administrators and the Milford Police Department," Feser said.

There will be an increase police presence at the high school for the remainder of the week.
