Yet another important message from the Superintendent

Dear Mt. Lebanon Parents,


I am writing to inform you that as Jefferson Middle School students were leaving school at the end of the day today, a 7th grade student was overheard saying he was going to “shoot up the school.” Students informed the principals, and the Mt. Lebanon Police Department was immediately contacted.
 

At this time, the MLPD indicated that no imminent threat exists. Due to the serious nature of the comment, the MLPD are still investigating and may take further action.  Appropriate school disciplinary measures aligned to the student code of conduct will be applied. Due to student confidentiality laws, we cannot release specific information pertaining to the student or disciplinary action taken.  
 

The safety and security of the entire school community is a priority for us, and we will continue to aggressively pursue comments and behavior that threaten our students or schools.
 

Please feel free to contact your child’s principal or me if you have any concerns.
 

Sincerely,
