Mishawaka High School has moved to an e-learning day for the second day in a row due to a threat against the school.
The school was also on an e-learning day Monday in response to the same threat.
In a post on the district’s Facebook page, the district said the threat is still under investigation by the Mishawaka Police Department and that the second e-learning day was called out of an abundance of caution.
All staff and teachers are working from home. The e-learning day only applies to Mishawaka High School — all other city schools are open for in-person learning today.
Mishawaka High School is the latest Michiana school to move to e-learning due to a threat. Last Friday, Goshen Community Schools went online out of an abundance of caution due to a video circulating on TikTok.
And a Concord Junior High School student was arrested last Thursday on felony intimidation charges over a similar threat toward that school.
In Michigan, all Lakeshore Public Schools were closed last Tuesday and Wednesday due to threats. Edwardsburg Public Schools were closed on Dec. 10.
Gun violence and threats have been on the rise at all Indiana schools.
