Parents Told New Graffiti Threat Not Credible

WOODBRIDGE, Va. — School officials in Prince William County have once again turned their attention to graffiti found at Potomac Senior High School.

A new graffiti message was found inside a girls restroom inside the Woodbridge school, but Prince William County Public Schools spokesman Philip Kavitis told PotomacLocal.com that police see no credible threat contained in the new message found at the school. Kavitis was not specific on what messaged was contained in the new graffiti.

The message comes after another graffiti message was found inside the school earlier this week indicating a student would bring a gun to school on Tuesday. Police deemed the threat unfounded and the school day went off without a hitch.

“Police and school officials take this continuing graffiti situation very seriously. Perpetrators will be prosecuted and we will take the necessary steps to ensure the continued safety of all students and staff. Again, no credible threat is seen at this time,” echoed Kavitis.

Potomac Senior High School opened in 1981 and has more than 1,700 students who attend classes there. The school also has 110 teachers, according to its website.
