Last night, a message went out via social media that included a reference to “being safe at school on Thursday.” The message did not include any direct threat to any RUSD school. Since the tragic shooting incident in Florida last week, many school districts across the country have been dealing with similar, non-credible threats. Riverside Unified and RPD take every threat seriously and thoroughly investigate each one to determine the validity of the threat. RPD has investigated this incident, and deemed it to be non-credible. Please be assured that RUSD and RPD are working closely to support our schools and provide additional personnel on any campus that has received any message that warrants further investigation.
