In an email to parents, Fairmont High School Principal Tyler Alexander said that the threat was made via social media and added that the administration was working with the district’s central office and police to investigate.
In an update, Alexander said that in the interest of safety the school would be closed on Tuesday.
“We pledge to pursue any and all legal action once the KPD has identified the perpetrator or perpetrators who posted this threat and any other individual who may have any knowledge relative to the posted threat,” Alexander said.
In a statement, the school asked that anyone with information on the origin of the threat to reach out to Alexander, FHS School Resource Office Lester Spinks, the Kettering Police Department, or another trusted adult at the school.
This threat comes less than a week after police said a Beavercreek man called the school to threaten people who identify as LGBTQ+. The call came after the high school’s students last month chose two gender-fluid teens as prom king and queen.
