Sophie B. Wright High School in New Orleans Closes Due to Social Media Threat, Classes to Resume Following Day

In an immediate response to online threats, Sophie B. Wright High School in New Orleans has shuttered its doors for the day. The decision came after a disturbing social media post went viral, hinting at violence against the campus community. The school promptly announced the closure via Facebook, urging the community to prioritize safety above all.

The school officials were succinct in their message to parents and students. “We are aware of the posts on social media involving our school community. Please be assured that we are closely monitoring the situation and are committed to ensuring our students and staff’s safety,” stated the school officials in a post cited by

. Despite the alarming situation, the school has determined that classes will resume tomorrow.

According to

, today, the day of the shutdown, had already been set aside for staff professional development, a schedule that remained unaffected by the incident.

The specific origin and author of the social media threat remain unclear. New Orleans Police Department was contacted by
