Dear Parents:
As you are well aware, in the wake of the Oxford School shootings, there has been a notable rise in
threats made to our schools and students, teachers and staff across the state and in Sanilac county. When
our children learn of school shootings and similar threats, the overwhelming majority of them handle
this news with appropriate and understandable worry and confusion. Unfortunately, others see this as an
opportunity to cause more fear and chaos; some with the hopes of simply getting out of school for the
day, others with the hope of getting some sort of peer notoriety.
Many of the students that have created such situations later claim they were just joking, or did not think
it was a big deal—but, it is a big deal. That is why all the local law enforcement chiefs, all
superintendents, the Sheriff, the State Police, and the Prosecuting Attorney are reaching out to you.
These threats are not viewed as a joke and these acts will not be tolerated.
If substantiated, appropriate criminal sanctions will be sought and issued against the offenders. If that
happens, you and your child will be brought into the court to answer for what happened. Your child will
also face consequences at school which will impact their education.
Keep in mind that sanctions imposed by the justice system are by no means the only consequences that
can be suffered from this behavior. A student may lose a scholarship or federal aid. They may be
denied college admission or entry into the armed forces. They may be required to disclose the situation
on job applications. The unintended consequences for such behavior can be severe and lifelong.
We urge you to speak with your children about the power of their words—that what they say, even in
jest, can have significant consequences for them. There is simply nothing funny about any shooting, let
alone one that occurs in a school, and there is no appropriate time or place to joke about such events.
To be clear, such threats will be investigated by law enforcement and prosecuted in accordance with the
law.
Respectfully,
Law Enforcement: Prosecutor Brenda Sanford, Sheriff Paul Rich, MSP Post Commander F/Lt
Brian McComb, Chief Bret Lester, Chief Ron Smith, Chief Bob Willis, Chief Brian McGinnis,
Chief Ron Buckmaster, Chief Larry Sheldon, Chief Rod Jaskowski, Chief Jeremy Crisenbery
Superintendents: Neil Kohler, Brown City Schools; Doug Muxlow, Carsonville-Port Sanilac
Schools; Dan Gilberston, Croswell-Lexington Schools; Mike Hugan, Deckerville Schools; Matt
Karaffa, Marlette Schools; Bill Kerr, Peck Schools; Paul Flynn, Sandusky Schools and Duane
Lange, Sanilac Intermediate School District
