Police investigate threat at Bryan Stevenson School

Georgetown Police and Delaware State Police are investigating a possible threat to the Brian Allen Stevenson School of Excellence.

The threat was apparently received Sept. 12. The school sent an email to parents that evening.

It said that the school was “taking the situation seriously and that they were inviting Georgetown Police to be at the school as students arrived on the morning of Sept. 13.”

The school was put on lockdown and no admittance to visitors. The school dismissed early at 12:30 p.m., Sept. 13, as a precaution.

A grandparent who came to pickup a sixth-grade student told the Cape Gazette that Georgetown Police were at the school in the morning. She did not want to give her name, but said 

Georgetown Police told the Cape Gazette that as of Sept. 13 afternoon, they had not tracked down any further information about the threat and that the school was no longer on lockdown.

The Brian Allen Stevenson School of Excellence is an independent school that just opened this month.
