LGSD Staff and Families,
Today near 12:30 PM, LGPD dispatch received a report of a potential active shooter on the LHS campus.
Law enforcement were at the school site at the time of the call and quickly and efficiently determined
the call to be not credible. We have confirmed that similar threats have occurred today across multiple
Oregon school districts and none were deemed credible.
LGSD will continue to work with law enforcement and LHS staff throughout the day to monitor and
support student and staff safety with extra patrols and presence on our campuses. Parents may pick-up
their children if they desire, but schools will continue to operate normally today as the threat has been
deemed not credible.
Respectfully,
George Mendoza

Get on Board!
Become a voice for Oregon Students!
La Grande School Board Member, Robin Maille shares what it means to be a School Board member. "School board work is important to me because I get to see the results of our decisions over time. All decisions are meant to support kids as they navigate learning in our schools-whether it is related to policy, budget, curriculum, social-emotional support or facility improvement. It is important to support and work with the superintendent and other board members, not against them. We make decisions as a group, through active listening and patience. Expect to invest time in learning about the schools and being part of the committees to explore options and plan for the future."
