Below is the Honeywell Instant Alert sent out last evening.  I will give you a current update on rumors associated with Spaulding High School.  The Police have not been able to find any legitimate threat.  The rumors seem to be facebook and social media issues.  It is easy to post hoaxes on facebook.  The Police and High School Adminstration are following up on all rumors.  I was at the school this morning.  The students are doing a great job with the increased security.  The change to restrict the use of outside doors to get to the Tech Center has increased the security in the building.  A safety team member is outside the front door, or inside the front door, to note everyone coming into the building.

Thanks,
Mike Hopkins

Good Evening. This is Principal Robert Seaward.

In light of Spaulding High School and the Rochester School District’s commitment to the safety and security of our students and staff, I am calling to inform you that it has come to our attention there are individuals spreading rumors regarding threats against Spaulding High School.

At this time school officials in cooperation with the Rochester Police Department are working to dispel the rumors.

The Rochester Police Department will be posting additional officers at Spaulding High School to increase the security of our school.

As a further precaution we have decided to suspend large student gatherings during school hours through the end of the week.

Thank you for your support.
