The following release was issued by superintendent Amy Scott-Kronemeyer on Facebook regarding a school threat:
On Thursday, December 16, 2021, Sault Area Middle School administration received notification of a written threat. The threat referenced bringing a weapon to school to harm others on Friday, December 17, 2021. Administration immediately notified the Sault Ste. Marie Police Department and began a joint investigation.
As a result of the investigation, the student was lodged at the Sault Tribe Detention Facility on the charge of “Making Terrorist Threat”, which for an adult is a felony punishable by imprisonment for not more than 20 years or a fine not more than $20,000, or both. We will not be releasing the name of the student.
Again, as a school community we must take every threat seriously and we will take action.
