NEWS RELEASE:
The Galion City School District is pleased to announce that the student who wrote the bomb threat on the girls’ bathroom wall in the sixth-grade wing at Galion Middle School Feb. 15 has been caught. The name of the individual caught cannot be released because the student is a minor child.
“We intend to punish this student to the fullest extent allowed by Ohio law,” said Jim Grubbs, Galion Superintendent. “We will send a message to the entire student body that this type of behavior is unacceptable and will not be tolerated in the Galion City School District.”
The collaboration and quick response by the Galion Fire Department and Galion Police Department aided the district’s administrators in bringing closure to this issue. “We appreciate our first responders’ quick response and their work in helping to bring this situation to a close so quickly,” said Grubbs.
The district would like to formally apologize to parents and families of Galion Middle School students for the delay in sending the call with information about today’s events.
“We recognize that we didn’t do a good enough job getting the information out to our parents and families in a timely manner,” said Grubbs. “We are making adjustments in our operations to ensure a delay in calling our families never happens again.”
