MILL HALL – The Keystone Central School District Administration announced Tuesday afternoon that students at Central Mountain High School would remain under remote learning as Pennsylvania State Police and the FBI investigate three threats made to the facility, the first of which came on Friday.

Issues began on Friday when a threat was brought to the attention of the schools. At the time, the threat was made during school hours and the building was placed into lock down. While students and staff sheltered-in-place, an investigation was held and deemed the threat to not be credible.

Monday morning, before students even arrived at the building, another threat shifted learning for both CMHS and Central Mountain Middle School — which shares bus routes with the high school — to move to a remote learning day.

According to a release from Superintendent Dr. Francis Redmon, a sweep of the building and surrounding area by PSP and other law enforcement found the bomb threat to be unfounded.

And on Tuesday morning, another specific threat was made to CMHS, forcing both it and CMMS into a remote learning day once again.

KCSD’s administration in a statement Tuesday morning said a strong law enforcement presence was already at the high school due to the prior threat.

The statement emphasized the threats made have been specific to Central Mountain High School and that Central Mountain Middle School has only been transitioned to remote learning due to shared transportation.

The release stated that PSP and the FBI are actively investigating the continued threats being made to CMHS.

“We understand the difficulty that these changes to school routines can cause for families. However, safety is always our top priority,” the statement said. “We will share information as we are able, and appreciate your understanding as we prioritize safety.”

The administration made a follow-up statement Tuesday afternoon, in which it said it will keep CMHS under remote instruction for the remainder of the week.

Though no threats have been proven true, out of an abundance of caution, KCSD Administrators said CMHS students would remain remote through Friday, March 27.

“If we can identify the source of the threats before the end of the week, we will resume in-person instruction,” the statement said.

Furthermore, the administration said CMMS will return to in-person instruction today with “increased adult and police presence.”
