Glendale police: Text messages received by Nicolet HS students are not a 'safety threat'

GLENDALE -- Glendale police and the Nicolet School District are investigating a text message citing a CNN report about a school closure at Glendale and Whitefish Bay school districts on Friday, Nov. 2, due to a bomb threat. Officials said there is no credible safety threat.

In a letter to parents and guardians of the Nicolet community, officials said multiple Nicolet students reported receiving the text message -- which claimed to be from the Glendale Police Department. Students immediately reported these messages to school staff.

In a Facebook post, officials with Nicolet High School issued this statement:


Officials say "a comprehensive plan and procedures in place to protect all students. Anytime the school receives information that could constitute a threat, we follow a protocol to investigate and turnover all information to local law enforcement to determine the credibility of the threat."
