Message shared from Ansonia Public Schools

From Ansonia Public Schools' Facebook page 

Update regarding our schools:

Ansonia Public Schools will reopen all of its schools on Wednesday, May 25, 2016 and will operate on their regular schedules, according to Superintendent Dr. Carol Merlone. However, additional security measures will be in place tomorrow and through the end of the week.
“After a careful review of the facts, the Ansonia Police Department has informed me that our schools can reopen on Wednesday,” Dr. Merlone stated. Police officers will be present throughout the day at every school.
A community update will be made tonight at 7 p.m. at Ansonia High School, 20 Pulaski Highway, by Police Chief Kevin Hale, Mayor David Cassetti, and Dr. Merlone. The update will focus on the investigation into an “anonymous threatening statement” made on a social media site and discovered early Monday afternoon.
“I have been in constant contact with Police Chief Kevin Hale and with Mayor Cassetti,” Dr. Merlone said.
“We will continue to work as a team to ensure that all of Ansonia’s students and staff have the highest level of security as the investigation into this incident continues. Additional information will be shared on our website, Facebook page and by School Messenger as new developments arise. I appreciate the cooperation of our parents and community members.”
