EVELETH â Rock Ridge officials closed the Eveleth-Gilbert High School on Monday after alleged threats were made toward students, but they expected to reopen the building for classes today.
School administrators were made aware of the threats early Monday morning and opted to cancel instruction for grades 9-12 to allow for an investigation by Rock Ridge Public Schools and the Eveleth Police Department.
âThe investigation is continuing but we do not have any credible evidence that any students or staff are at any risk,â wrote Superintendent Dr. Noel Schmidt, in an afternoon email to parents. âIf we had any credible evidence that any students or staff were at risk, we would continue to close the Eveleth-Gilbert High School.â
