On Monday, Sept. 16, the Corning School District issued a statement on the Corning School District school app concerning the district receiving reports of a potential threat made by a student to harm the school community. In the statement it was said that the district contacted law enforcement and is working with the Corning Police Department to investigate the threat. The student was removed from campus and will be disciplined according to the student handbook. The school district message stated, “All threats to our school or students are taken seriously and investigated, and any students caught making threats may face possible criminal charges and expulsion from school. The district encourages parents to speak with their children about the seriousness of making threats, even as a joke. The safety of our students and staff is our top priority.”
