Dear Konocti families and staff,
Student safety is our priority. Late on Thursday evening (11/4), we received a phone message with a threat of a school shooting at Lower Lake Elementary School. We immediately called local law enforcement to began an investigation. We closed Lower Lake Elementary School for the day to assure our students and staff were safe while the investigation proceeded. Thanks to our partnership with the Lake County Sheriff's Department, we identified the students responsible for making the threatening calls. The students admitted to the calls and said they were intended as a prank; the students had no intent or ability to carry out the threat. Regardless of intent, we take all threats seriously and will proceed with disciplinary action for the students involved.
Thank you for your support and understanding.
