A social media post referencing a gun and the Huron School District was reported to school and police officials late Thursday evening, prompting an increased police presence in schools on Friday.

“This evening, school officials were made aware of a social media post referring to ‘Huron Schools’ and making reference to a ‘gun.’ The social media post was reported to the Huron Township Police Department, and the district is working closely with the HTPD to uncover the origins of the post,” said Donovan Rowe, superintendent of Huron Schools, in an email sent to families in the district late Thursday evening.

“Although the police do not believe that the post poses a threat to student safety, we have arranged for an increased police presence in the schools tomorrow morning.  As always, student safety is our primary concern.  We will continue to work closely with law enforcement to ensure the safety of our students.”

Anyone with information related to the social media post should contact Huron Township Police at 734-753-4400.
