Threat Closes Liberty High School Friday: School District

RENTON, WA - Liberty High School will be closed on Friday due to a threat. The Issaquah School District says the King County Sheriff's Office has been notified. But, because the district can't verify the credibility of the threat, it made the decision to close the school.

Here's the full release from the Issaquah School District:

Liberty High School has been made aware of an anonymous possible threat to our school tomorrow, April 21. Unfortunately, we cannot verify whether or not the threat is credible.

Therefore, for the safety of students and staff, we have made a decision to close Liberty High School tomorrow, Friday, April 21. The King County Sheriff’s Office has been notified and is investigating the situation.

While the closure of school tomorrow is disruptive, we believe it is in the best interest of student and staff safety and will give law enforcement the opportunity to investigate the situation further.
