A Valley Forge High School student is in custody after posting a threat against the building on social media, according to a letter to parents and guardians obtained by 3News.
In the message, Principal Janine Andrzejewski said law enforcement notified school officials of the situation on Monday afternoon as classes were being dismissed. The student is alleged to have posted a threatening message on TikTok that pertained to a potential school shooting.
Valley Forge administrators worked with authorities to identify the student, who was eventually arrested while at home. The individual now faces criminal charges and potential discipline from the Parma Heights school.
Despite the nature of the post, Andrzejewski says school leaders are "confident there is no credibility to this threat." As such, classes at Valley Forge will continue as scheduled on Tuesday, with the Parma City School District's winter break set to begin next week.
"We remind all of our stakeholders that your eyes and ears are our best resources to keep us all safe," Andrzejewski wrote. "Please contact any member of our school administration or contact 844-SAFEROH if you have any concerns to report."
