Heightened law enforcement presence at JWMS today


The School District of Rhinelander sent a robocall to James Williams Middle School parents Tuesday morning advising there would be an increased police presence on school grounds today.

Below is a transcript of the message:

On April 17, 2023, staff from the School District of Rhinelander and Oneida County Sheriff's Office received information that a student had threatened to act out violence at James Williams Middle School. The threat was investigated by Oneida County deputies in partnership with Oneida County Department of Social Services. Law enforcement continues to cooperate with the school district to increase security and awareness in this matter.

The investigation revealed no evidence to suggest this was current information. The student will not be in school on April 18, 2023, and district staff will continue to monitor the situation in concert with law enforcement personnel. At this time, officials involved in this investigation do not believe there is a heightened threat to our schools or staff based on this individual report. However, there remains heightened awareness, and additional security at James Williams Middle School.
