Superintendent Mike Zboray’s Letter to Parents on Friday’s Incident

Here is the email that MDI Regional School/AOS 91 Superintendent Mike Zboray sent home to families after Friday April 3rd's incident at MDI High School

Dear MDIRSS Community -   

I want to share that this morning, a threat was received by phone at the high school. The nature of the threat necessitated an immediate lockdown. The initial report was that someone was on school property with a weapon with the intent to harm. Law enforcement arrived on site within minutes and conducted an investigation, during which it was determined that no individual was on the school grounds. The threat was substantial enough for law enforcement to thoroughly sweep the building and grounds to ensure the safety of all students and staff.

I want to express my profound gratitude to our local, county, and state law enforcement partners for their rapid response, professionalism, and thoroughness.

Since it was an early release and the threat was deemed not credible, police and school officials decided it was appropriate to let students leave school an hour later than their normal release time and not conduct reunficfication off site.

I am incredibly proud of our students and staff for their composure during the lockdown. I also recognize and appreciate the deep concern felt by parents as they awaited news regarding the safety of their children.

We will debrief this experience with all affected parties to ensure we can continue to provide a safe learning environment for students and staff.
