The district's response to the threats that shut down classes last week faced grating scrutiny from parents, teachers and school board members.

A school district in Fairfield County said it is investigating after another round of posts on social media threatening violence. Bridgeport Public Schools announced on Monday, Sept. 23, that it had received more threats after receiving a round last week.

There will be an increased police presence Monday at Bridgeport schools as students return following a series of threats last week.

Schools in Bridgeport will be closed on Friday after a string of recent threats. All Bridgeport schools started class two hours later than usual and let out early on Thursday. It was just one of several safety measures the district put in place after receiving two separate threats in the span of a few days.

In response to recent threats made towards the district, safety measures include a "strong police presence" at the schools and emergency response plans.

Bridgeport Public Schools are implementing enhanced safety measures as students and staff prepare to return to school on Monday, following a recent threat to schools in the state.
