“Garfield Middle School administration received information of possible threats to the school early this morning posted on social media last evening,” wrote Matt Schermer, Garfield principal.

“The students involved were immediately identified, contacted, and prohibited from attending school before any GMS students were on campus.”

“School administration is working in conjunction with the School Resource Officer and Hamilton Police Department as this is an active investigation. At no point during this incident were students or staff safety compromised and a regular school day will be held at Garfield.”
