Highland County Public Schools Reports Indirect Threat
February 27, 2024
This is Scott Smith with an Allegheny Mountain Radio News Nugget.
On Tuesday afternoon, parents of Highland County School students received a message from Superintendent Dr. Drew Maerz, vis robo-call and push notifications – it read:
“HCPS Families, this is Superintendent, Drew Maerz, informing you that an indirect threat was written on a high school girls bathroom stall earlier today. A student reported this threat to a teacher, who then informed Principal Good.
Upon discovery, we notified the Sheriff’s Office and a deputy investigated. We will continue to support the sheriff’s investigation. We have since removed the message.
Please know that we will keep you informed with any additional information about this issue.
Thank you.”
