Clark County School District Gets Terror Threat
Full text of threatening email sent to LAUSDSome parents whose kids go to Raul Wallenburg High School don’t want officials to overreact to a hoax, but parent Rabi Kuenwer says he would’ve canceled classes for the day.
Students in Florida, Texas and California headed to school as usual Thursday, hours after officials said districts received threats similar to those that closed Los Angeles’ massive school system earlier this week. “Principals have been asked to stay alert and keep students calm and focused on instruction”. “You don’t know if they’re going to try to do a school you don’t know if they’re going to try to do the administration building”.
“SFUSD staff received an email threat of violence similar to the one received earlier this week in Los Angeles, New York, Dallas, Miami and several other cities”, sounds a mass-message sent earlier today. Schools in those areas and in Clark County, which educates 320,000 students, opened normally.
Authorities said they planned a search operation of all of the LAUSD’s more than 900 schools.
Although the SFUSD schools did not issue an official closure, Carranza’s office proceeded with contacting the Federal Bureau of Investigation and SFPD to patrol and investigate campuses for anything that seemed suspicious.
It is not immediately known when San Francisco schools received the threat, but other districts in Florida and Texas report receiving threats by email Wednesday night.
Tuesday’s threat, an email, prompted Los Angeles to shutter its 900 public schools for fear of a large-scale attack.
Officials said the threat came in electronic form and was made to numerous but unspecified campuses.
School will resume on January 4. Then, a 17-year-old sophomore, after learning of the freshman’s arrest, posted a threat on Facebook saying, “You can’t stop us all”, Wright said.
Law enforcement officers made sweeps of schools. Schools reopened on Wednesday after officials there said the threat was not credible and likely a hoax.
Notwithstanding this less than credible threat, it is the district’s responsibility to share this information with the community. Osborne said she could not discuss the ongoing investigation. The school also tweeted that it was on lockdown.
Threats against several students were posted on an alias Facebook account Wednesday night, along with the threat of an attack against the school.
The Danville Community School Corporation, about 20 miles west of Indianapolis, has roughly 2,500 students in its high school, middle school and two elementary schools. Overnight, two Danville high school students were arrested, accused of apparently unrelated threats.
