What I found more disturbing is how Mt. Lebanon ranks in the safest schools categories. #13 in safest schools in Allegheny County does not warm my heart. https://www.niche.com/k12/search/safest-school-districts/c/allegheny-county-pa/ Why are we looking at overnight parking?Here is the letter that was sent to parents this morning.

Subject: Important Message from Mt. Lebanon School District
Dear Mt. Lebanon Parents,
As you may be aware from media reports this morning, a threat against an unnamed Pittsburgh area school is being investigated by federal authorities and the Pittsburgh Police.
We have been in contact with the Mt. Lebanon Police Department early this morning, and they have confirmed that there is no known specific threat against the Mt. Lebanon School District.
In an abundance of caution, the Mt. Lebanon Police will have an increased presence in and around our buildings. We are carefully monitoring our school buildings and grounds. All staff are on alert to look for and immediately report anything unusual or suspicious.
Again, there is no known specific threat to the Mt. Lebanon School District. Maintaining a safe school environment for our students and staff is our highest priority.
I want you to know that we take all threats seriously and we are monitoring this situation very carefully. If other pertinent information becomes available, I will be sure to communicate it to you.
Sincerely,
Timothy J. Steinhauer, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools

Dear Mt. Lebanon Parents,
We were just informed that the reported threat of violence at a “Pittsburgh” school was a hoax that originated in Florida. While we are grateful that this incident turned out to be a hoax, it reminds us of the value of remaining alert and taking these types of threats seriously.
Please help us by reporting any information that could impact the safety or welfare of our students or staff immediately to the Mt. Lebanon Police Department (9-1-1), your child’s principal, or to me.
Sincerely,
