WILLOWS, Calif. (AP) — Officials say they closed all four schools in a small Northern California district after receiving a threat on social media.
Debby Beymer of the Willows Unified School District said Wednesday that the threat was received late Tuesday against Willows High School. Police called for classes to be cancelled district-wide out of concern for the safety of students and staff.
Beymer says officers remain on campus at the high school in rural Glenn County, about 85 miles north of Sacramento.
The school district has about 1,400 students; none of the district's other schools were threatened.
She says district officials are waiting for police to decide whether it is safe to resume classes on Thursday.
