Threats Prompt Closure of a Powell Butte School

A voicemail and text threatening violence prompted the closure of Powell Butte Community Charter School this morning. Prineville Police and the Crook County Sheriff’s Office are investigating. In a Facebook post, the district made the decision to cancel school for the day to allow police to search the property. Officials said the threat was specific to the small community school, which houses about 200 students in grades K-through-12. It’s located on Highway 126 between Redmond and Prineville. Classes for all other schools started on time and bus routes are running on their normal schedules.
