WATERBURY, Conn. — The Waterbury Police Department is investigating after a social media school threat was made on Monday involving Enlightenment School and Jonathan E. Reed Elementary School.
Police said as a precaution, both schools will be operating as shelter-in-place and all school activities will be indoors on Tuesday.
On Tuesday morning, police said they were investigating a school threat involving Crosby High School that was posted on social media. As a precaution, police said a shelter-in-place has been initiated along with additional police presence at the school throughout the day.
There will be an additional police presence at each school throughout the day, according to police.
Officials did not say if one or both schools were threatened, but the two schools are just across the street from one another, so they are having both schools shelter-in-place.
Enlightenment School, which serves students from 6th to 12th grades, had to be evacuated on Monday just after 10:30 a.m. because of a bomb threat.
This comes after a bomb threat at Kennedy High School last Tuesday, and a threatening message at Waterbury Arts Magnet School on Thursday, which led to the arrest of a 17-year-old. The suspect is not a student at the school.
