Police investigating online threats against Riverside high school
LA TimesThe Riverside Police Department is investigating social media posts threatening violence at Riverside Polytechnic High School. “We will again have extra officers and patrols in and around Poly High School this Monday to continue those ongoing efforts of maintaining the safety of students and staff,” it said. The threats followed “some fights during or near lunch hour” last week at the school, according to a letter posted on Instagram Saturday by Riverside Unified School District Supt. “To ensure the continued safety and well-being of our school community, additional support will be provided to Poly High School next week.” The school administration, they wrote, is “implementing a plan to restrict lunch activities to designated areas on campus” in order to “improve supervision and mitigate potential disruptions.” The restrictions may be extended to other parts of the day.
