The following information is being sent on behalf of the Somerville Public Schools:

The information posted by the Somerville News Weekly today, Thursday, December 10, regarding a terror threat is incorrect. There was and is no such terror threat or other threat of violence in the Somerville Public Schools or the City of Somerville. Based on information brought to our attention last week and immediately reported to Somerville Police, an investigation was launched that revealed no threat. Because no threat was found and the student involved is a minor no additional information can be shared at this time.

In the event of a credible threat, it is our policy and practice to notify all parents and guardians immediately. Again, the report of a terror threat posted by Somerville News Weekly is incorrect. There was and is no credible threat. Parents and guardians seeking additional information may contact Susana Morgan at 617-625-6600 extension 6013 or Richard Melillo at extension 6028.
