ISSAQUAH, Wash. – Classes at Pacific Cascade Middle School in Issaquah were canceled again Friday because of a threat found in a letter at the school.
The school district said the typed letter was found Wednesday morning outside a classroom as buses were already headed to the school. The district quickly decided to cancel classes for the day.
The district said no new information had come to light Friday morning, so school was canceled again just before 6 a.m.
Issaquah School District is offering a $1,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest of the person who made the threat.
The district said the letter contained threats of violence against four staff members on Friday, along with vague threats to commit violence at lunch or during the school's winter assembly on Friday. The writer also makes reference to having access to a gun.
The district said it is working with police in the investigation.
