On Saturday, December 2, we were made aware of a threatening social media post. The video post included several weapons and an alleged threat of school violence. We immediately communicated this information to local law enforcement and have been collaborating with Altoona Police Department throughout the weekend.

Over the past 24 hours, it has been determined that this exact post has been circulating throughout other local areas. The threat has NOT been found to be credible and is NOT specific to AASD however, the investigation is ongoing and the District will continue to work with local law enforcement.

Schools will be operating under the normal schedule tomorrow. AASD Police Services along with administration and staff will continue to follow our safety and security protocols daily.

Thank you to our parents and students who continue to be vigilant in reporting concerns of safety. All safety concerns are taken seriously and they will always be investigated fully.
