Juvenile to be charged after threat against Chartiers Valley School District
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — A juvenile will be charged after a threat was made against the Chartiers Valley School District, authorities announced on Monday.
The Chartiers Valley School District shifted to remote learning on Monday due to a "credible threat" made against one of its schools, according to a letter sent to parents.
In an evening update, the district said the juvenile involved was "experiencing a crisis" and "is now receiving the appropriate help and support they need."
The Bridgeville Police Department said it was involved in a multi-jurisdictional investigation, which included juvenile probation. Bridgeville police said a juvenile was arrested on separate charges stemming from separate incidents and will be lodged in a secure juvenile holding facility.
Collier Township police will also be filing charges in connection with "an incident involving the school community," Bridgeville police said.
Police said classes will resume as normal on Tuesday and there will be an increased presence of police officers.
"Please be assured that our schools are secure and ready to welcome students and staff tomorrow," the district said in an update. "We are committed to maintaining a safe and supportive environment for everyone, and we appreciate your understanding and trust during this time."
