MARLBORO TOWNSHIP, New Jersey — Marlboro Township Public Schools are closed Thursday after a series of apparent threats, which investigators have deemed to be of “low risk and low credibility.”
The Marlboro Township Police Department said that threats were communicated to them about Marlboro Memorial Middle School and the Board of Education buildings.
“Marlboro Township Police Department along with other law-enforcement agencies are currently conducting a thorough and comprehensive check of the buildings,” the department said in a statement just before 8 a.m.
A thorough check of both buildings using explosive detection canines found nothing, officials said.
The district had first implemented a two-hour delay but then decided to close.
Town Hall was also closed for a short time due to the police investigation, but it has since reopened.
