On Thursday, December 9, 2021 at approximately 10:30am, a hand-written threat was found in a bathroom at the Munising Middle/High School.
The Munising City Police were contacted immediately and investigated the written threat. Both the Munising Middle/High School and Mather Elementary went into lockdown mode for the safety of the students and staff. In a separate incident, at approximately 11:00am, Munising Public Schools was notified of a threat in a video that a student had made.
Munising City Police began a separate investigation into the video, resulting in a student being removed from school and released into the custody of a parent.
A report will be filed with the Alger County Prosecutor office for possible charges.
The hand-written threat was deemed to not be credible by school officials and the Munising City Police, but is still being investigated. As a precautionary measure, Munising City Police will remain on site at the Middle/High School for the remainder of the school day, with school safety protocols still in place.
