After rumors fly on social sites, school superintendent in Chippewa Falls #WI issues statement about an incident at the middle school.

Not satisfying to read, as they're saying that they alone can decide whether parents have enough information to allow them to take protective actions over their children. If this happened locally, I would support an effort to recall the school board for this.

You don't have to use inflammatory language, just say that you have information about a possible threat, and that the police are actively involved in ensuring safety. Concealing these things just teaches parents not to trust you.
