A reported threat at Lawrence Road Middle School that turned out to be false was reportedly inspired by social media.
According to the letter, school officials were "alerted to a threat made to student safety" in the afternoon and put the school on lockdown. However, the threat was later deemed "not credible" by police.
"The school principal and District safety personnel immediately contacted the Nassau County Police Department, which quickly arrived at the school building and conducted a thorough investigation," Darrisaw-Akil wrote in the letter. "The police department concluded that the threat was false and not credible."
