Rigby said the student was immediately removed from the school for a mental health evaluation. The student was arrested and Rigby said “he will not return” to the school.
Police said the 17-year-old student was charged with threatening to use deadly weapons in a school and threatening to commit a crime. In a release, police said no weapons were found. An “increased police presence” is expected at the school.
The student was arraigned at Framingham Juvenile Court.
