An eighth-grade student at Nathan Hale-Ray Middle School in East Haddam is accused of making threats and has been arrested.
Superintendent Brian Reas sent a letter to parents and staff Tuesday and said school officials learned earlier in the day that a student at the middle school “allegedly made threats of violence against fellow classmates and staff.”
Reas said school administrators notified local police and the student was arrested and charged with threatening in the first degree.
Police said the student was charged with threatening in the first degree and breach of peace. He was released to his parents and is due in Middletown Juvenile Court.
“We take any threat of violence against one or more of our students, teachers or staff extremely seriously,” Reas wrote in a letter.
