At 10:50 pm Thursday evening, approximately 35 school districts around the state of Indiana, including Middlebury Community Schools, received a bomb threat via email.
Throughout the night, MCS administrators and police swept all seven schools and found nothing suspicious. However, out of an abundance of caution MCS will have an E-Learning day on Friday, April 14.
This will allow for continued communication with police and Homeland Security, and a second sweep of all facilities. Our seven schools are currently closed to everyone until cleared by law enforcement.
As always, we must prioritize the safety of our students and staff. We will provide additional information as we can.
Two Middlebury School Board Members Honored for Professional Excellence
President Kate Hummel and Vice President Gregg Eash, both board members for Middlebury Community Schools, have received governance awards from the Indiana School Boards Association (ISBA). Mrs. Hummel is one of 82 board members in Indiana who earned a level 1 distinction, and Mr. Eash is one of only 23 board members in Indiana who earned the highest rating with a level 4 "exemplary" distinction.
These school board members have demonstrated an outstanding commitment to learning and excellence in public service through their active participation in ISBA-recognized trainings, seminars, and conferences.
“This impressive achievement attests to the dedication these school board members have for the children and school communities they represent,” said ISBA Executive Director Terry Spradlin.
MCS Superintendent Dr. Snyder and the rest of the Administrative Team would like to congratulate Mrs. Hummel and Mr. Eash for this recognition, and also thank all five board members for serving the students, staff, and families of Middlebury Community Schools.
