A student at Walkertown Middle School has been disciplined after allegedly posting a threat against a teacher on Facebook.
Winston-Salem Forsyth School spokesman Theo Helm confirmed the threat, but did not elaborate on what the comment said.
The alleged threat was posted on Facebook on May 11. The school discovered the posting on May 12 and "dealt with it," Helm said.
The student was a pupil in the teacher's classroom at the school but "are not in contact with each other," Helm said.
Helm said as far as the school system knows, the threat was made only on the Facebook page.
Helm said according to the student handbook, the student could face up to 6 days of suspension and could be placed in an alternative school.
