Le Roy Central School to be closed on Sept 27 due to 'credible threat'

Le Roy Central Junior-Senior School will remain closed today on September 27 due to a 'credible threat', according to the social media account of the school.

In a memo sent to teachers and staff Friday morning, Superintendent Merritt Holly said the threat was made on Snapchat late Thursday night.

School officials and investigators are working to trace the social media message back to who originally sent it.

Genesee County Sheriff's Office released a statement saying, "The School received a report of a possible threat and we are currently investigating."

"The School received it early this morning and given the hour made the decision to close to allow us to try to determine if the threat was credible or not."
