Police are investigating a social media threat made against Windham Middle School on Tuesday, marking the second threat made against the school within the last week.
School officials said they learned about a rumor on social media that indicated a threat against Windham Middle School on Tuesday morning. Officials did not release specifics about the threat.
All students in Windham Middle School and Windham Early Childhood Center are safe inside the building, school officials added.
Police are on site at the middle school and preschool and are investigating. Officers are expected to remain on site until the matter is resolved.
"We take this matter very seriously and are working with the Willimantic Police Department," school officials said in a statement.
Last week, a juvenile was arrested after a threat was made against the same school.
Willimantic Police said that threat appeared to be a hoax and it was not as viable as it was originally considered.

Officers were contacted around 10 p.m. last Friday about an Instagram post that was threatening and targeted the school, police said.
Police have not released information about if the two threats are related to one another.
