VERNONIA, Ore. (KOIN) — Vernonia schools will be operating in lock out Friday due to a potentially credible threat of violence, according a letter sent to families by superintendent Aaron Miller.
Lock out means the students will continue in classes as normal, but all doors will be locked and no one will be allowed to enter or leave the building. There will also be a police presence in the school Friday.
There are 4 schools in the Vernonia district, 2 elementary schools, a middle school and a high school.
Miller’s letter said the person who made the threat has been identified and police are investigating.
