Missoula Middle School Gets a Scare, Student Gets Counseling
By Robert Struckman, 10-17-08
A Meadow Hill Middle School student has been suspended after voicing threats to classmates, and school officials have mailed an explanatory letter to parents.
The student did not bring a weapon to school, and nothing was written to identify targets. The incident is under investigation, says a press release from Missoula County Public Schools.
The threat was made Wednesday. The student will meet with a mental health specialist to evaluate appropriate action, including counseling services for the student.
Meadow Hill Principal Nick Carter said students were not in any danger at the school and that he is confident that this situation will be resolved effectively, the press release says.
School officials are asking Meadow Hill parents to help dispel rumors with their children and contact with school with further questions. The school is closed Thursday and Friday, Oct. 16 and 17, for statewide teacher training, but will open as usual on Monday, Oct. 20, the release says.
