VISTA, Calif. (CNS) - A possible threat against a Vista charter school earlier this week was determined to be unfounded, according to authorities.
Deputies from the Vista Sheriff's Station were informed around 8 p.m. Tuesday of a possible threat at Guajome Park Academy and quickly responded to investigate, according to the San Diego County Sheriff's Office.
Administrators at the kindergarten through 12th-grade school were notified of the potential threat and took precautionary measures for the following school day. There was an increased law enforcement presence at the campus Wednesday, the sheriff's office reported.
Further investigation led deputies to identify the student involved in the possible threat. They made contact with the student and their parents at their residence.
"A search of both the residence and the school was conducted, and no weapons were found. The investigation determined the threat was unfounded," the sheriff's office said in a statement.
