2-16-23 Threat Against Hudson CSD

Feb. 16, 2023

Dear Families and Staff,

This evening at approximately 7:15 p.m., the district was made aware of a potential threat to the district by a student. Within minutes of receiving the report, our School Resource Officer began investigating along with law enforcement. Law enforcement is actively in the process of following up with a home investigation to ensure the threat is not credible and to confirm there is no current danger to the Hudson City School District. For extra precaution, Hudson schools will have an increased presence of law enforcement on Feb. 17, 2023. These are the standard safety measures the school always takes in such situations.

Threats against our schools and school community are treated very seriously and investigated thoroughly. Students who are determined to make such threats, even in a “joking” manner, face consequences through our school’s Code of Conduct as well as potential legal consequences. Please reinforce this with your children, as well as the importance of reporting any suspicious or potentially threatening activity to an adult as soon as possible so we can quickly and safely address it. We will update you with more information as soon as we receive it.

Sincerely,

Superintendent of Schools 

Dr. Lisamarie Spindler
