Boise High School has an increased Police presence after a vague threat was made against the school on Friday, February 3rd.
Boise High School received a vague threat that was not directed toward any specific individual. Boise High School administration contacted Boise Police and School District administrators who began investigating the threat.
A letter sent from Boise High Principal Robb Thompson to parents obtained by CBS2 says
"Boise High School administrations, Boise City Police officers, and Boise School District Administrators have examined the information we have so far and determined that no credible evidence substantiates this threat. However, because we take all threats seriously, we will have additional security and police presence on-site at Boise High today."
An increased police presence will be on-site and security has been ramped up at the school. The letter goes on to say, "Please know our first priority each and every school day is the safety of our students and staff members. The Boise School District's policies and procedures help us to accomplish this important priority."
A spokesperson for the Boise Police Department responded to a request from CBS2 for more information, reiterating that the threat has so far been determined to be not credible based on the evidence gathered so far, but Boise Police and the school district take all threats very seriously and have increased police presence at the school for security.
