Maricopa Unified School District notified parents over the weekend of a “potential threat of a weapon on campus on Monday” at the high school.
The alleged threat was made off-campus Friday night. MUSD told parents it was working with Maricopa Police Department and had not substantiated the threat.
Classes will take place as normal on Monday, but MPD plans to increase patrols.
MUSD reminded parents threats against a school facility, even in jest, can be prosecuted beyond school discipline. “Please take this opportunity to talk with your children about the consequences of making statements of a threatening or dangerous nature at any time,” MUSD advised parents in its notification.
The alleged threat comes after days of student fights on and off campus, also involving MPD.
