“On September 2, after school had ended, the Galion Police Department responded to a reported threat made by a Galion Middle School student. Officers acted quickly in coordination with school officials to assess and address the situation.

Following a thorough investigation, it has been determined that there is no ongoing threat to students, staff, or the community. The student involved was taken into custody without incident.

We understand that situations like this can cause concern, and we want to reassure the public that all necessary steps were taken to ensure the safety of everyone involved. The safety of our schools and our community remains our highest priority.

As a caution to parents and guardians—and given ongoing concerns about school safety nationwide—we encourage you to speak with your children about the importance of communication.
