A suspect has been identified for making threats via social media toward Providence High School. This just in from Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools Deputy Superintendent Ann Clarke: CMS Police in collaboration with CMPD has identified the person initiating the social media threats against Providence High School. The individual is not a CMS student. CMS Police will be working closely with the district attorney’s office to determine the specific charges against the perpetrator. Law enforcement officials will continue the investigation to identify any other individuals who may be involved in subsequent social media threats against students and staff at Providence or any other CMS school. Be assured that district officials are taking these threats very seriously and will prosecute any offenders to the fullest extent of the law. We will maintain an added security presence at Providence High School for the remainder of the week as an added precaution. It is important for our community to know that school safety is our number one priority and CMS fully investigates all threats, including social media posts, targeting our students, staff or schools. We will continue to pursue each threat posted via email or social media and will work with local and federal law enforcement agencies to prosecute each person involved.
