Dear Bangor Families,
I would like to thank each of the concerned citizens who have reached out to our school principals and district administrators about a concerning social media message circulating on TikTok. The posts communicate that there is a challenge to call in various threats at schools within the United States. At this time, there have been no local, credible threats made in our region and no threats relating specifically to the Bangor School Department.
We encourage all families to take time to reinforce the expectation for safe schools and responsible use of social media. If a student should see something or hear anything suspicious or concerning, they should immediately report these concerns to a trusted adult, district administrator, and/or law enforcement.
We appreciate your support and partnership in making school safety a priority.
Enthusiastically yours,
James Tager
