Modesto High cleared by police officers after threat investigation
MODESTO – An investigation was underway at Modesto High School after a threat on campus was made Thursday morning, officials say.
Modesto City Schools confirmed that police were at the campus trying to determine if it was safe.
It was not known if the threat was credible, the district says, but officers were called out to the scene to investigate.
No one was allowed on campus and students were diverted to Mark Twain Junior High School, prompting a late start to the school day.
Around 10:30 a.m., Modesto police announced that the campus was thoroughly checked and cleared of any threats.
Families were being urged to check their emails and the Parent Square app for updates on the situation.
