Chartiers Valley Schools to Reopen After Local Police Resolve Credible Threat, Juvenile Detained

Following a “credible threat” that led the Chartiers Valley School District to switch to remote learning on Veterans Day, authorities have now given the all-clear for students to return to the classroom. After swift action, local law enforcement has concluded the threat posed to the school district has been “fully resolved,” as shared in an updated Facebook post by the school district last night. According to

WTAE

, the district expressed gratitude toward the local police for their support and prompt response to the incident.

The situation escalated Sunday night when the district notified parents and students of the threat and moved to cancel in-person classes. Although details of the threat’s nature were not disclosed, police indicated that a juvenile was behind these events but didn’t confirm if the individual was a student within the district. “It’s so scary. I just hate thinking that my children are dealing with this you know, they’re 14 and 11, like, why is that happening?” Candice Connor, a concerned parent, stated that, as per

WPXI,

The Bridgeville Police Department reported the arrest of the juvenile responsible for the threats yesterday. The unnamed minor faced charges from other incidents and would be held at a secure juvenile facility. The Collier Township Police Department is also reportedly filing charges related to the incident involving the school community. While the juvenile receives appropriate help and support amidst the crisis, preventive measures will see an escalated police presence across all school campuses upon Tuesday’s reopening.
