(ABC 6 News) – An online threat has forced the cancelation of classes on Monday in the Grand Meadow Public School district, according to an email sent to district parents Sunday evening.

According to an email from Supt. Paul Besel, a threat was made to a Grand Meadow student via an online video game.

The threat was shared with local law enforcement, with officials following up on the information provided.

Supt. Besel says there is not a dangerous situation or threat to the school, but there will be increased law enforcement visibility and patrols at school this week for “additional peace of mind and extra protection.”

Still, Supt. Besel says he made the decision to cancel school based on the safety of the students and employees in the district. The closure is also aimed at allowing law enforcement to “follow through on more information which has surfaced since the E-News I sent out earlier today”.

More information is expected to be released on Monday.

This is a developing story and ABC 6 News will update this article with more information once it is available.
