Wednesday was supposed to be the last day of classes at the high school for the school year. Students are allowed to pick up items until 2 p.m. today, according to Elizabeth Beadle, district spokeswoman.

On Tuesday, a student found a message in the girl’s bathroom warning of a possible school shooting, according to Beadle.

Beadle wouldn’t discuss the contents of the note, but said it was “specific enough” to cancel classes on Wednesday.

“Why take a chance,” she said.

She encouraged anyone who knows about the school threat to call Middletown police at 513-425-7700.
