JCSO Case 24-4944

WHITE CITY, Ore. - Jackson County Sheriff’s Office (JCSO) was made aware of a threatening statement made this morning by a student at White Mountain Middle School in White City. JCSO deputies responded immediately to investigate. Deputies interviewed the juvenile suspect, multiple witnesses, and the suspect’s family and found no credible threat to the school. There was no evidence of an actual plan, or means to carry out the threat.

The student was sent home and the Eagle Point School District 9 Disciplinary Team is determining the proper action towards the juvenile. Out of an abundance of caution, multiple JCSO deputies increased their presence at the school throughout the day to assist with security and to reassure parents and students. 

We take every threat to school safety very seriously. If you learn of any school threats, call ECSO Dispatch at (541) 776-7206 to speak with law enforcement.
