West Warwick, R.I. – Threat at Deering Middle School Found Unfounded Following Police Investigation
Officials at Deering Middle School announced that a reported threat made by a student has been deemed unfounded after a thorough investigation by the West Warwick police. Superintendent Karen Tarasevich informed families in a letter that the incident occurred during a physical education class, where a student allegedly made a statement suggesting potential violence against the school, which was overheard by several classmates.
In response, school administrators promptly activated threat assessment protocols and contacted local law enforcement. The investigation revealed no credible evidence or intent to carry out any violent actions, attributing the situation to "a poor choice of words" by the student, as noted by Tarasevich.
While specifics regarding the student and any possible disciplinary actions remain confidential due to privacy laws, the superintendent emphasized the importance of discussing the seriousness of language with children. She urged families to reinforce the message that threatening statements can lead to severe consequences. This incident highlights the ongoing commitment of school officials to ensure a safe learning environment for all students.
