Northern Berks Regional Police Department Chief James Keiser released a statement Wednesday following the recent incidents at Schulkill Valley High School:
“With the events that transpired regarding the Schulkill Valley High School over the past two days, I feel it is necessary to reassure the parents and students of both the Schulkill Valley and Fleetwood Area School Districts that the Northern Berks Regional Police Department takes any threat of violence against either school district very seriously. We will continue to prosecute, to the fullest extent of the law, those who seek to create fear and panic for the students, students' families, and school staff. A student's school is intended to be a safe place for them to learn and grow, and the Northern Berks Regional Police Department will continue to partner with our school districts to maintain that standard.”
