Two more districts modify classes after school threats

Threats are causing disruptions today for two local school districts.

Students in Fox Chapel Area schools are getting virtual instruction today after a possible threat was reported through Safe2Say Something.

All Fox Chapel Area students are learning remotely with delayed starts at the high, middle and elementary schools.

The threat concerning the high school is under investigation by the school district and police.

Meanwhile, students in the Burrell Area School District will have a “flexible instruction day” and 2-hour delay after a “concerning social media post” was reported Monday by students.

The district’s buildings were on a soft lockdown Monday afternoon, after an additional social media post circulated, district official decided to make the changes for Tuesday’s classes.

Police continue to investigate the threat with an increased presence at the district’s schools today.

Two calls made to Pine-Richland School District last week are believed to have originated in Australia and a 25-year-old man was arrested last week after making threats against Woodland Hills School District.
