This afternoon Wellsville Secondary School Administration received reports of threatening comments made by a student that referenced school violence. Wellsville Administration and the School Resource Officer responded immediately and isolated the student. These comments were determined not to be credible.
At no time were students or staff in danger and we are cooperating with the Wellsville Police Department in regard to this matter.
It has come to our attention that classmates may have circulated hearsay regarding this student's comments on social media.
We want to reiterate that the students and staff were not in any danger. We thank the students who reported the statements immediately.
