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.

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.
