Medford, Oregon- According to South Medford High School authorities, a recent report was received regarding a comment made by a student that led others to believe there might be a potential threat within the school community.
Officials say prompt action was taken, and the Medford Police Department was immediately contacted to conduct a thorough investigation into the matter.
After careful assessment and investigation, law enforcement officials determined that there was no credible threat posed by the comment in question. Authorities say the collaborative efforts between school administrators and local authorities underscore the commitment to address any concerns related to the safety and security of students and staff.
In light of this incident, school officials took this opportunity to reinforce the zero-tolerance policy against any form of threat or intimidation within the school premises. Such actions not only disrupt the learning environment but also undermine the sense of security and trust that is essential for a thriving educational community.
“We would like to take this opportunity to remind our families that threats of any kind are not tolerated at South,” stated South Medford High School principal Jonathon Lyons.
The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of vigilance and open communication in maintaining a safe and secure school environment. School officials encourage students, parents, and staff members to report any concerns or suspicious activities promptly.
