Edina Schools students sent home, district investigating 'concerning voicemails'
Edina Schools students sent home, district investigating ‘concerning voicemails’
Edina Public Schools staff notified parents Wednesday about "concerning messages" left on a school voicemail, prompting the district to send students home while authorities investigate their credibility.
According to a district announcement, the messages were left at Normandale elementary school, resulting in the closing of the Edina Community Center, Southview and Concord campuses, including its Early Learning Center and Spanish Dual Language school.
Previously, on Friday, Sept. 15, police arrested a 17-year-old boy for allegedly posting a threatening video on social media taken outside of Edina High School.
Police informed Edina Public Schools about the threat, and officials moved Edina High School and Edina Valley View Middle School to e-learning out of an abundance of caution as police investigated the threat. Authorities did not provide a motive for the threat, but said he was not a current or former student at the high school.
