Good afternoon,
Today, local authorities were notified by a crisis center that an electronic message was sent from Stearns to the crisis center from someone with suicidal idealogies. The SRO and another EMPD officer placed the building on hold.
Thank you to our new SRO, Officer Frank Porfido, Officer Lakeman, and our guidance counselor, Sue Buzzell.
Please have conversations with your students and let them know that we are here to help and so are the police.
As always, student safety is our priority.
