School district addresses alleged threat to high school made on social media
Investigation deemed post ‘not a credible threat’
–Paso Robles Joint Unified School District Public Informations Officer Martha Clayton released the following announcement regarding an alleged threat that was made on a social media platform via a student’s phone:
Last night we were informed of a social media post (snapchat via student’s phone) that was a perceived threat on our high school. Local authorities were contacted immediately. They investigated and deemed the social media post to not be a credible threat.
Our first priority is always student safety and we will continue to work in partnership with our local authorities to ensure that. All parties responded quickly, and we are confident in our plans moving forward to address student, staff and parent concerns.
While every student at our middle schools and high schools receives cyber-safety education, it does remind us of the importance for us as parents and educators to talk to our students about the significance of their “posts.”
While the threat was not credible, it is still serious. School officials have met with the student and parents and appropriate disciplinary measures are being taken.
Thank you for your continued support and help in keeping our students safe.
