Update from Education Department Deems Threats Not Credible

New York State homeland security and counter-terrorism officials have deemed that Friday is not credible.

The update on the threat came in a state Education Department email sent to school superintendents late Wednesday morning.

“[A]lthough law enforcement authorities are treating this threat seriously and continue to investigate, they are not considering this a credible threat at this time,” the e-mail reads.

The threat came in the form of an anonymous email Friday to state officials with the subject line “Time to Kill,” making specific threats of violence to state office buildings, the state Legislature and school buses.

Superintendent Susan Hodun said information is being distributed despite the recent updates about the credibility of the threats.

"We are sending backpack notes home to students and the information will be posted to the district website," she said.

Administrators from School District have not returned calls and there is no information about the threats on their website as of this writing.
