KIEL, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — The school board for the Kiel Area School District says it’s ending the Title IX investigation into three middle school students who allegedly used the non-preferred pronoun when referring to another student.
In a letter sent to parents, the board said, “We have issued clear directives and expectations to all students involved in this matter for the purpose of preventing bullying and harassment and ensuring a safe and supportive learning environment for all of our students. Based on these actions, and pursuant to District policies and procedures, the School District considers this matter closed.”
Kiel has received threats for nearly two weeks. More recently, police warned one threat stated that if the school district did not drop its investigation by Friday, the entire city would be targeted.
Kiel police said the city’s emergency management team met several times on Thursday and developed a plan to address the threats.
