Original story: The Carson City School District reported Friday morning it has not received threats of violence or anonymous tips to unspecified schools similar to those being circulated in Washoe County School District.
District spokesman Dan Davis confirmed the message went out to families through the district’s ParentSquare system after the Washoe County School District reported it was among districts across Nevada to receive “multiple anonymous tips and social media messages” pertaining to threats to unspecified campuses, according to the Reno Gazette Journal. The WCSD said classes would resume as normal as an investigation would be held in the matter.
According to Carson City School District’s message, no Carson City school has received such threat, and “Our Carson City Sheriff's School Resource Officers (SROs) are monitoring the situation and as always work with our school officials to assure the safety of our students.”
