At 8:18 this morning, April 11th Hopkinton High School received a non-specific bomb threat by “robo” call. The Crisis Response Team was immediately convened to perform a risk assessment, and it was quickly determined to be a low level threat. The shelter in place protocol was therefore followed.
Local police and fire, state police, the regional task force, and the FBI worked together in response to the threat. Their response was quick and highly coordinated. The shelter in place was conducted in an orderly fashion while a thorough building sweep took place. Students and faculty remained calm and the regular school day was not interrupted.
At this time public safety officials have determined the threat to be unsubstantiated and the school is safe for both students and staff.
