A Douglas County Sheriff's Patrol car is parked at Douglas High School on Tuesday morning.
A report of an anonymous threat to Douglas County schools received early Tuesday morning has prompted an increased Sheriff’s Office presence.
School District Director of Human Resources Adam Dedmon sent a notice to parents at 6:53 a.m. Tuesday.
“We are working with the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office and staff to ensure there are not safety concerns at our schools this morning,” Dedmon said.
Douglas County and Carson City have investigated the report and have found that there is no specific imminent threat.
“All schools will be open for students, but we are notifying parents of the report so you can make the best decision for your child,” Dedmon said.
Sheriff Dan Coverley has assigned extra patrols at the schools today.
“We will update families when we discover new information regarding this anonymous threat,” Dedmon said.
