RELEASE DATE: April 29, 2026

INCIDENT: Three Rivers School District (TRSD)

INCIDENT DATE / TIME: April 29, 2026, at 10:48am

REPORTING DEPUTY: Sheriff Dave Daniel

DETAILS:  At 10:48am North Valley High School (NVHS) received a phone call of a threat to the school.  For Law Enforcement investigative purposes, the exact threat is not being released. Josephine County Sheriff’s Office Deputies and Oregon State Police Troopers immediately responded to the scene.

Due to the nature of the statements made in the phone call, NVHS was placed in lock down status, and the school was searched by deputies both internally and externally.  No weapons or items of concern were located.  All TRSD schools were placed in a secure status; meaning all doors were locked and normal indoor activities were still occurring, however, all outdoor activities were cancelled.  Law Enforcement personnel were present at each of the TRSD schools for the remainder of the school day out of an abundance of caution.

We wish to thank the public for their patience during this unsettling time. Additionally, we are grateful for our partnerships with Oregon State Police and Grants Pass Police Department that assisted.

The youth of Josephine County remains our highest priority. 

This incident is still under investigation and no further threat to any TRSD school has been identified.  No further information is being released.
