The school division emphasized that the safety and security of their students and staff is always a top priority.
“Roanoke City Public Schools does not tolerate threats or acts of violence,” the Patrick Henry principal said. “Students and families are reminded to immediately say something if they see or hear something. At the same time, we also ask families to talk with their child about the consequences of making threats. Actual threats or jokes about threats will not be tolerated and will result in disciplinary actions and may be punishable by law.”
