Pleasant Hill School District Responds To Community Concerns, Reaffirms Commitment To Student Safety - 09/12/25
The safety and well-being of Pleasant Hill students, staff, and visitors are our highest priority.
We are aware of social media posts made by a Pleasant Hill School District employee following the shooting of Charlie Kirk. Due to the significant disruption these posts have caused in Pleasant Hill schools, the employee has been placed on paid administrative leave while we conduct a thorough review of the situation.
We are in close contact with local law enforcement. There have been no threats made against Pleasant Hill schools, and law enforcement has confirmed there are no known credible threats at this time. Out of an abundance of caution, we have coordinated with the Lane County Sheriff’s Office for increased patrols on and around Pleasant Hill school campuses to provide additional reassurance for students, staff, and visitors.
We recognize that this situation has caused concern, frustration, and strong emotions within the Pleasant Hill community. Our focus remains on supporting Pleasant Hill students, keeping Pleasant Hill schools safe, and working together to maintain a respectful and caring school environment. We are deeply grateful for the support our community has shown for our students, staff, and visitors during this time.
We will continue to communicate with our community and take appropriate steps as we work through this process.
Jim Crist, Superintendent
Pleasant Hill School District
