‘Suspicious Document’ Prompts Investigation At Colts Neck School

COLTS NECK, NJ - A “suspicious document” found to be in the possession of a Colts Neck elementary school student has prompted an investigation led by district administration, as well as consultation from local law enforcement.

In a letter to parents dated May 5, Colts Neck Township Schools Superintendent Dr. MaryJane Garibay noted that the district became aware of the document on May 4, leading administrators to immediately report the situation to the Colts Neck Police Department.

“Parents/guardians of all individuals involved with the situation have been contacted by administration,” the letter reads. “Although the situation remains an active investigation; currently, and after consultation with local law enforcement, the district believes that there is no impending danger to our students and staff. Please note that individual privacy rights prevent us from sharing the identities of individuals involved and any further details related to this situation.”

As details surrounding the document are few and far between, Conover Road School Principal Jim Osmond issued his own statement to parents to quell any outstanding concerns:

“The situation is a localized incident that presented no threat against the school as a whole or specific populations of students,” the principal wrote in a May 6 letter. “All parties directly impacted have been notified and provided with the information we are able to share.”

A request for comment was not immediately answered by the Colts Neck Township Police Department.
