Another bomb threat at Chippewa Valley

The Chippewa Valley School District had its second bomb threat this school year.

The threat targeted Chippewa Valley High School in Clinton Township.

Chippewa Valley High School Principal David Cannan sent a letter home with students that said on March 28 at about 9:40 a.m., a high school junior was apprehended by a staff member as he attempted to print a message containing a bomb threat while working in one of the school's computer labs.

The letter said the student was immediately escorted to the school office and the Clinton Township Police were called.

The student was charged at the 41B District Court in Clinton Township with using a computer to commit a crime, a seven-year felony, and making a false bomb threat, a four-year felony.

Chippewa Valley School Superintendent Mark Deldin spoke to the issue.

"Although we have no reason to believe that this was a credible threat, we take situations like this very seriously. Parents can help by talking to their child about this incident and reminding them of the serious consequences associated with making threats at school,“ said Deldin.

Cannan, in his letter to parents, also encouraged dialogue about how bomb threats, in jest or not, are serious matters for the school district.

"Parents, please help us by spending some time talking to your child. Remind them that there are serious consequences, both school and legal, associated with making verbal, written or Internet threats. Remind them of your expectations and review the Chippewa Valley student code of conduct book with them.

Tell them Chippewa Valley will not tolerate any threats made to fellow students or staff members, real or false,“ said Cannan.

The principal also said the school is safe.

"The safety and security of your child is our number one priority. Every member of the Chippewa Valley High School team is committed to creating and maintaining the safe environment for our students,“ said Cannan.

Diane Blain, public relations director for the Chippewa Valley School District, said the student is currently suspended and expulsion is a possibility.

She also said the school was not closed.

The last bomb threat in the district was at Wyandot Middle School in Clinton Township. The student who made the threat was expelled by the school board on Jan. 10 for her actions.

The district also deemed this threat as a hoax but took the matter seriously.

About six months prior to the girl being expelled from Wyandot Middle School, the district dealt with a serious Internet threat from now former Chippewa Valley High School student Andrew Osantowski, who was sentenced at the Macomb County Circuit Court to at least four-and-a-half-years in prison for plotting a Columbine-like attack.

He was also expelled from the school district.
