The following was released from Montclair High School staff on Parent Square
“Dear Montclair Families,
As you may be aware, we have sent notification of recent social media posts and reposts containing alleged threats aimed at disrupting our school. We have been informed that these social media posts have been occurring across many communities throughout California. These posts have been thoroughly investigated and vetted by local law enforcement and have been determined to be not credible. The intent behind these posts appears to be solely to cause disruption in schools.
I want to take this opportunity to thank those who contacted the school to share their concerns. I also want to remind everyone of the importance of encouraging students to report anything that makes them feel unsafe. We will always work closely with law enforcement to investigate any potential threats to our students.
Lastly, I ask that families and students refrain from reposting or sharing unverified messages, as this can contribute to unnecessary fear and confusion. The best course of action is to notify law enforcement and the school so we can address the situation immediately.
Thank you for your continued partnership in keeping our school community safe.
Sincerely,
Principal Cho”
