St. Michael Catholic High School in Kemptville, Ont. will reopen Thursday after it was closed for a sixth time in two weeks on Wednesday, as police investigate a threat of violence towards the secondary school.
A note to families from the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario said the school would reopen Thursday in partnership with police.
"I can't expand on any more information on the nature of the threats,” said Const. Dave Holmes with the Grenville County OPP. In a letter to parents and guardians Tuesday morning, the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario said it was notified at 3 a.m. of a "anonymous threat directed to St. Michael Catholic High School."
The Catholic high school was closed Oct. 3, 4, 7 and 8 following anonymous threats directed towards the school. The board said the school was closed on Oct. 7 and 8 because, "a full evaluation of threats to St. Michael CHS has not been completed in order to accurately assess the risk to public safety."Typically, the communication about the threats to the school has first been received by the police, who have subsequently notified the school board during the middle of the night.
"He explained the difference between anonymous threats and violent threats that follow through," Baird told CTV News."It just seems the more time are not in school, the less threats there are. And then as soon as they're back in school, there's more threats. It's just a game right now to whoever is doing this, I feel."
