Amidst the routines of education and extracurricular activities, a sudden interruption jolted the Floyd Light Middle School community. A bomb threat was discovered, scrawled in a bathroom, leading to the closure of the Southeast Portland middle school today. In a statement obtained by KOIN, officials from the David Douglas school district confirmed that the graffiti was found by a custodian during their end-of-day cleaning shift yesterday.
The alarming discovery prompted officials to cancel all school activities for the following day, including 5th-grade music and various after-school programs and athletics. While the school district operates a 24-7 tip line, no further details regarding the threat have been released. According to KPTV, the community is encouraged to visit the school district's website to learn more about the tipline or leave a tip.
While the investigation is ongoing, the school expressed gratitude to everyone for their understanding. KATU reports that the school communicated appreciation for the community's support during this time.
