Threats Cancel Kentucky School Trip
A Kentucky high school has called off a trip to France for 31 students after prosecutors a threatening letter related to the voyage.
Officials with Assumption High School in Louisville declined to discuss the matter with The Courier-Journal, but a spokeswoman for the travel agency handling the trip confirmed that the school had canceled the trip.
Dale Davies, communication director for the Passports Educational Group Travel in Spencer, Mass., said the company had been told that the threat involved possible kidnappings. Davies said never before has such a threat derailed a school trip at the company, which has been in business since 1992.
Davies said Assumption principal Becky Henle abruptly cancelled the trip, citing a threatening note relayed by police. A formal cancellation letter followed early this month.
