Public schools in Montclair, N.J., experienced a temporary closure on Monday due to a potential security threat that prompted district leaders to take precautionary measures. The closure was announced in an early-morning email sent to parents and caregivers, informing them of the situation. However, several hours later, the school district confirmed that the potential threat had been successfully neutralized.

Damen Cooper, the interim schools superintendent, revealed that the district had been made aware of the potential threat late Sunday night. While specific details regarding the nature of the threat were not disclosed, the district assured the community that it was working closely with local law enforcement to monitor the situation and ensure the safety of students and staff.

In an email addressing the closure, Cooper emphasized that the safety of students, staff, and the entire school community was of utmost importance. He acknowledged that the last-minute closure may have caused inconvenience but reiterated the district’s commitment to prioritizing the security and well-being of everyone involved. Updates regarding the situation were promised to be provided to the community as they became available.

Montclair Mayor Renee Baskerville also issued a statement regarding the school closures, emphasizing that they were a precautionary measure and reassuring the public that there was no immediate threat. She clarified that the security concern was isolated to Montclair schools and did not extend to surrounding communities or institutions.

Following the closure, Cooper informed the community that the potential threat had been neutralized, thanks to the collaborative efforts of the Montclair Police Department. While the Police Department was not immediately available for comment, Cooper expressed understanding for the anxiety and disruption caused by the situation and reiterated that every decision made was guided by the commitment to ensuring the safety of students, staff, and families.

Despite the closure of public schools, several private schools in the area, such as Fusion Academy, remained open on Monday. Adriana LaVarco, the director of admissions at Fusion Academy, revealed that the police had advised the school to remain open as the threat was specific to one individual.

Montclair, located in Essex County, N.J., is in close proximity to New York City, approximately 20 miles away by car. While threats to schools have unfortunately become more common in recent years, actual closures are relatively rare occurrences. The swift response and collaboration between the school district and law enforcement in neutralizing the potential threat underscore the importance of prioritizing the safety and security of students and staff in educational institutions.
