Shelton Superintendent Responds to Bomb Threat at High School

In response to the reported bomb threat at Shelton High School yesterday, Shelton Superintendent of Schools Freeman Burr just posted the following note on the district's website:

"Good afternoon students, staff, parents and community members:

Yesterday afternoon at approximately 1:20 PM an unidentified male caller left an anonymous voice message at the Shelton Public School’s Central Office. The message was forwarded to my extension and I was called out of a meeting to listen to the message.

The caller, using a disguised voice, made reference to Shelton High School although the description of SHS was only partially accurate. The caller referred to a vehicle at SHS. A description of the vehicle was provided as well.

The Shelton Police Department was contacted and dispatched to SHS. SHS administration instituted emergency procedures while SPD and staff conducted a thorough search.

It was determined that the alleged threat lacked credibility. The Emergency Drill lasted approximately 15 minutes and dismissal buses departed beginning at 2:15 PM.

Feel free to contact me directly if you have any further questions or concerns.

Sincerely, 

Freeman Burr

Superintendent"
