Superintendent reports non-specific threat; district defers to sheriff’s investigation
Summary
Superintendent Pete Peterson told the board a non-specific threat was reported to the district by the Benton County Sheriff’s Office and explained the district’s limited ability to share details while the BCSO investigation proceeds.
Superintendent Pete Peterson informed the board that a non-specific threat had been brought to the district by the Benton County Sheriff’s Office and that the district is bound by the investigation process. Peterson explained the district’s communication limits when the sheriff’s office is the reporting authority and contrasted that with situations where the district is the reporting party.
The minutes do not provide details about the nature of the threat, any individuals involved, or the current status of the law-enforcement investigation. The board convened an executive session later in the meeting under RCW 42.30.110(1)(g) (performance of a public employee); the minutes record the executive session duration as approximately 30 minutes and that no business would follow publicly.
