Education Department: Terror Threat Against School Buses 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 email 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.

Hauppauge Superintendent Patricia Sullivan-Kriss could not be reached for immediate comment.

District spokeswoman Pam Donovan said Hauppauge Public Schools will follow a regular dismissal schedule on Wednesday starting with the high school at 2:15 p.m., but would be looking further into the matter.
