SAUGERTIES – A bomb threat at Saugerties Jr./Sr. High School on Friday brought a large response from area police agencies.
Students and staff were evacuated as law enforcement with K-9s conducted a thorough sweep of the campus, with no credible threat found.
Saugerties Police detectives are actively investigating the source of the threat.
Superintendent of Schools Dr. Gwendolyn Roraback said the event may have been frightening to students. “If your child needs extra support processing this event, please contact the Junior or Senior High School Counseling offices,” she said.
Roraback said when the person or persons responsible for the threat are identified, “consequences will be administered as allowable by both the District Code of Conduct and the law.
She said if anyone has information to assist in the investigation, they should share it with your building principal or the Saugerties Police.
