SUPERINTENDENT: Arrest Made & Schools Are Safe But E-Learning Remains In Effect Today

“I wanted to give you an update on our current situation: Law enforcement has apprehended the individual responsible for making the serious threats that we responded to last night. Law enforcement has confirmed that there is no longer any threat to Bemidji Schools. Based on the communication and logistics challenges to get all staff and students back into place after a closure has been announced, we will remain in an e-learning day. I know that this causes challenges for our parents and families. Our highest priority during this situation was to ensure that our students and staff remained safe and that we follow the recommendations of law enforcement. I also want to commend our law enforcement partners for their swift response and attention to this serious matter.”
