Threat Leads To Extra Police At LMT Schools

LOWER MAKEFIELD TOWNSHIP, PA — There was an increased police presence at Lower Makefield schools Wednesday morning after a threat involving the middle school.

In a letter to parents, Elizabeth Aldridge, director of student services with Pennsbury School District, said the added security was due to "a report shared by a middle school student after school on Tuesday."

There were extra police at Pennwood Middle School, as well as at Pennsbury elementary schools in Lower Makefield, according to Aldridge. She said the additional security was ordered despite the fact that "the report did not concern the elementary schools."

The letter did not specify the nature of the threat.

"As always, the safety and security of our staff and students is of utmost concern," Aldridge wrote. "Therefore, extra precautions will be in place. We appreciate our excellent partnership with Lower Makefield Township Police and their care for the Pennsbury community."
