District Announcements

On Wednesday, May 17th, the Plumas Unified School District received a credible threat against C. Roy Carmichael Elementary School (CRC). Immediate action was taken by the Plumas County Sheriff and the California Highway Patrol (CHP), who promptly responded to the school site. As a precautionary measure, CRC and Portola Jr/Sr High School were placed on lockdown, and emergency protocols were immediately put into action.

After receiving clearance from law enforcement, the process of releasing students to their parents began at 10:10 am from the school cafeteria. Subsequently, students at Portola Jr/Sr High School will be released starting at 11:30 am.

As of now, an active and ongoing investigation is underway. We are closely coordinating with the Plumas County Sheriff’s Office, and as soon as additional information becomes available, we will promptly share it and make a decision regarding the school's status for Thursday, May 18th.

The PCOE-PUSD Joint Regular School Board Meeting scheduled for Chester Elementary School this afternoon, 5/17/23, at 4 pm, has been canceled.

We will share information regarding rescheduling as soon as possible.

We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause.

On behalf of the Admin team and Governing Board, we'd like to express our deep appreciation for our stellar staff of PCOE/PUSD, and the care, expertise, and dedication each of you bring everyday to our schools. Thank you for all you do to support students in Plumas County!
