“It appears that threat has been copied and edited from a threat sent across the country. And we are investigating,” Dwyer said.
A second Butler County school district dismissed early Thursday also due to a social media threat, according to the sheriff’s office. The threat was received about 10:30 a.m. at New Miami Local Schools and the district made the decision to close early, Dwyer said.
Unlike the threat at Edgewood, the one at New Miami did not match the recirculated social media threat.
The sheriff’s office is investigating.
