Classes resumed in Pleasant Valley School District Friday after Pennsylvania State Police found nothing in a sweep of the high school Thursday.

Classes were moved to remote instruction on Thursday in response to a generic safety tip involving the high school was turned in via the Safe2Say tip line.

Superintendent James Konrad said police swept every building in the district.

There was an increase in police presence during school and at the evening sporting events.

“After a thorough investigation, the safety threat submitted through a safe2say tip was deemed not credible by law enforcement. As part of the investigation, any individual or individuals who attempt to threaten the livelihood of our students or staff will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” Konrad said in an update Thursday evening.

In his message to parents, Konrad said, “Please know that I must take every safety threat with extreme caution. In light of (Wednesday’s) school shooting in Georgia, I have to consider the timing of the threat we received today and it’s potential to harm the safety of students and staff within our school district.

“I made the executive decision to keep students and staff home today out of an abundance of caution, since school safety is my number one priority. I am thankful for our incredible staff, students, and parents who made the most of this emergency situation, where we continued to pursue learning by pivoting to a Remote Instruction Day.”

Konrad said during active investigations he is limited in what he can say to parents and students, “because we need to make sure that our district communication does not jeopardize the integrity of the investigation.”

Trooper Anthony Petroski III, the public information officer with Troop N, said the Troop N Fern Ridge Criminal Investigation Unit is conducting the investigation, and the state police provided additional resources through the Bureau of Emergency and Special Operations, K-9 Division, to conduct the building sweep.

Anyone with information regarding the incident is encouraged to contact the Pennsylvania State Police Fern Ridge at 570-646-2271.
