The threats being “officially dismissed”, the Magdeleine school in La Prairie and the Louis-Philippe-Paré school in Châteauguay will reopen on Monday.
“The evolution of the investigations carried out in close collaboration by the Régie intermunicipale de Roussillon and the Service de police de Châteauguay leads us to confirm that the threats concerning the Magdeleine and Louis-Philippe-Paré schools have been officially ruled out. The police services confirmed to us that it was the same attempt at intimidation for the two establishments. The verifications allowing us to conclude that our environments were safe have been made”, announced the Center de services scolaire des Grandes-Seigneuries, Sunday afternoon on Facebook.
“Students and members of the school staff will thus be able to return to the establishments, in complete safety, as of tomorrow, according to the usual schedule”, can we read in particular.
The parents of the students concerned, the adult students as well as the staff members have received correspondence on this subject, specified the School Service Center, adding that the school transport service “will also take place according to the normal schedule and procedures. “.
The notice also concerns the Vocational Training Centre, the Grandes-Seigneuries General Adult Training Center and the Châteauguay Vocational Training School, which had been closed as a preventive measure.
Under the publication of the School Services Center, parents deplore “the lack of transparency”, “insufficient” information and say they are worried.
“I don’t feel confident sending my child to school tomorrow,” wrote one of them.
Recall that this week, the Magdeleine secondary school was targeted twice by a threat. On Tuesday, the police had been warned that a possibly armed person was inside. On Friday, the establishment was completely evacuated due to a bomb threat.
