Yesterday afternoon on May 25, the Avondale Estates Police Department (AEPD), at the request of The Museum School, responded to two separate verbal threats to student safety. The AEPD is assisting the Dekalb County Police Department and the Dekalb County School Police Department in their ongoing investigation of these incidents. While disappointed that many children were unable to experience their last day of school, the city fully supports The Museum School’s decision to close out of an abundance of caution. The City of Avondale Estates is committed to doing everything in its capacity and taking all necessary measures to support The Museum School and other law enforcement agencies in providing a safe environment for the school’s children.
