The situation is under investigation with the Wadsworth Police Department.
“Those who were mentioned by name in the online post have been made aware. We believe that the actions taken this morning by the Wadsworth Police Department and the middle school administration addressed this situation, and, as a result, there is no safety concern relating to this situation for students and staff at the middle school today.”
The district is asking parents to continue monitoring their child’s online activities.
No additional details were immediately available.
