UPDATE:  Please see the following announcement from the Office of the Superintendent of Cranford Public Schools - 03/24/22 @ 2:38PM:

"All is well at CHS, but we would like to provide you with an update on the incident that was communicated earlier. We originally reported that the Cranford Police Department received a non specific threat via Twitter involving CHS. The Cranford Police Department identified the source of the post. Although, CPD will conduct a follow up investigation, the threat has been determined not to be credible.

The Shelter in Place has been lifted and the school will run a regular dismissal.

We cannot thank the police enough for all they do to help keep the school community as well as the community at large safe."
