“The student was removed from classes pending investigation, and the matter has been referred to the Greene County Prosecutor’s Office for further review,” Fairborn police said.
Fairborn police said the incident involved an 11-year-old Fairborn Intermediate School student.
In an email to parents Wednesday morning, district staff encouraged parents to have conversations with their children about being mindful of their words and actions.
“While we can assure you that there was no danger to students or staff, this situation serves as a strong reminder that words and actions — whether intended as a joke or not — can have serious consequences,“ the district wrote. ”What one student may have thought was funny quickly became a major issue, requiring immediate intervention from both school officials and law enforcement."
Officers had an increased presence at the school. The Greene County Prosecutor’s Office declined to comment.
“The Fairborn City School District prioritizes the safety of our students and staff and we have taken steps and will continue to take steps to address a recent threat made by a student,” read a statement posted to Fairborn City Schools’ social media Tuesday night. “Your students are safe to attend school on Wednesday, March 26.”
