On Tuesday, February 2nd, 2016, at approximately 10:00a.m., the Wayland Middle School received a call stating that there was a bomb at the school. Wayland Police and Fire Departments immediately responded to the school.
A brief shelter in place of the school was conducted, followed by a thorough search by police officers, firefighters and school officials. The Massachusetts State Police K-9 Unit and the Explosion Investigation Unit also participated in the search and investigation. Nothing was found and the school was deemed to be safe.
Members of the school staff and school administration officials were present during the shelter in place and subsequent school search. The cooperation of the staff and the students helped make this disruption to the school day as minimal as possible.
The Wayland Police Department continues to investigate this threat made to the Wayland Middle School in conjunction with state and federal authorities.
This threat is similar to others received by schools across the state in the past few weeks.
