This morning, three metro Detroit high schools were targeted by online threats.
Increased security is in place because of an online threat made toward Cass Tech High School in Detroit. However, Emergency Manager Darnell Earley, who was appointed by Governor Rick Snyder, suggests there was no need to close the district down, so class is expected to go on as normal today.
Detroit Public Schools and its police department say they are aware of an alleged threat made against the high school. They are working with homeland security to ensure the school day will be safe for all students, teachers and staff.
Jalen Rose Academy in Detroit also received a threat of violence, according to the school’s principal Russell Harris. Classes were canceled for the day as a precaution.
At Lake Orion High School, another threat forced the district to close the school for the day.
The district posted on its website that they are working with the sheriff’s office regarding a serious threat made against the campus
