When there is a disruption to the school environment, our goal is to keep the public informed while also maintaining the confidentiality of student information as required by law. Early this afternoon, a Blennerhassett Middle School student repeatedly made threats of violence against students and staff while at school. Principal Matt Null swiftly investigated this matter and secured the assistance of the Wood County Sheriff’s Department. The student was charged, removed from school grounds, and brought before a judge this afternoon. The student will not be returning to any school in Wood County.
Superintendent Willis wishes to thank the Wood County Sheriff’s Department, Prosecutor’s Office and Circuit Court for their professionalism and commitment to keeping our schools safe.
