DUNMORE, Pa. — The Dunmore School Board held a closed executive session on Sunday, September 26, after four teens allegedly planned a "Columbine-style" attack on the high school.
It's the next step in the school district's response.
The district attorney's office here in Lackawanna County charged four students.
Zavier Lewis and Alyssa Kucharski, both 15, are charged as adults. Two other students have been charged as juveniles.
They are accused of planning to blow up and shoot up parts of the school in April of 2024. The date is the 25th anniversary of the attack at Columbine High School in Colorado.
Kucharski allegedly made more than 30 Molotov cocktails and CO-2 bombs.
A parent notified police after finding a group text message describing how the teens planned to harm teachers and others at the school.
The Dunmore school board met Sunday night in "executive session." It was closed to the public.
A school board member says he didn't know about the murder plot until he saw media reports.
The administration put out a statement Friday afternoon, saying it has been assured there is no current danger to the students and staff.
