Two schools in North Berwick were closed on Friday — Halloween — after officials received a report of a possible violent threat involving a student.
The Noble Middle School and the Noble High School will remain closed while authorities investigate a threat that a student planned to come to school in costume and carry out an act of violence.
School administrators said the decision to close the buildings was made “out of an abundance of caution.”
Local law-enforcement officials are actively investigating the incident, though no further details about the threat or the student involved were released.
Parents and guardians were notified of the closure and asked to monitor updates from the school district. The district did not indicate when classes will resume.
