SLO High School responds to report of threat ahead of student-led protest
San Luis Obispo High School received reports of threat against the campus Thursday night, principal Rollin Dickinson told families in a memo Friday morning.
After learning of the threat, the school contacted the SLO Police Department, school district leadership and the individuals who were involved, the message said.
“At this time, there is no information to suggest that this was a real or credible threat,” Dickinson wrote. “We will continue to monitor the situation closely and take any necessary actions to ensure the safety of our students and staff.”
No details on what type of threat was reported were given.
Dickinson thanked students and families who reached out to school leadership with concerns.
“By staying connected and communicating with each other, we help keep our school community safe,” he wrote.
The alleged threat came ahead of a planned student-led walkout at SLO High School on Friday in line with nationwide protests against ICE. Dozens of local businesses also planned to shut their doors or take other action as part of the strike.
