Email threats received earlier this week led to the closure of the Machias schools on Tuesday, Oct. 3 and all A.O.S 96 schools plus Washington Academy on Wednesday, Oct. 4. "Within the last 24 hours or so we got some email threats that a person or persons unknown may try to cause harm to the students at Machias High," said Machias Police Chief Grady Dwelly.
