MONROE, Ohio — Monroe Local School District will be closed on Wednesday, September 11 for a "safety concern," according to the district's website.
Monroe police said the school district is closed for the day, though they wouldn't provide a reason. The district's website says it's "due to a safety concern," and directs families to check their emails for more information.
Monroe police officer Josh King told the Journal-News the district and police are working to “dispel a rumor” after someone “said something.” He said the person did not make a threat.
In an email the district sent to Monroe parents, it said on Tuesday night the district received a safety concern from a student riding the bus. While “no credible threat has been identified,” the police department didn’t have sufficient time to complete its investigation before school started today, the email read.
Out of “an abundance of caution,” the decision was made to cancel school for all students, according to the email.
The district said it must take “any potential concerns seriously.”
