Chesapeake Science Point Public Charter School parents, students and school officials repeatedly have said their school is safe despite two students being punished for making violent threats this month.

“Middle school students are sometimes highly emotional for no particular reason. For some reason, that demographic sometimes thinks everything is unfair to them,” said parent Aicha Thomas on Friday at the school on Mercedes Drive in Hanover, about five miles from the Thurgood Marshall Baltimore-Washington International Airport.
