Classes were canceled across Tillamook School District 9 on Thursday following a threat that circulated on social media late Wednesday, according to a statement released by district officials.

The district said it made the decision out of an abundance of caution after being alerted to an online post referencing potential violence. Law enforcement agencies, including the Tillamook Police Department and the Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office, are investigating the origin and credibility of the threat.

As of Thursday morning, there were no reports of any incidents at school facilities, and officials said the closure was purely precautionary while authorities conducted their investigation. The district did not indicate when classes would resume but said updates would be communicated directly to families through official channels.

The canceled classes affected all Tillamook School District 9 campuses, which serve more than 2,000 students in the coastal community. The district urged parents and students to avoid spreading unverified information online as the situation unfolds.

The Tillamook Police Department asked community members to report any suspicious activity or information directly to law enforcement. Similar social media-related threats have led to school closures across the Pacific Northwest in recent months, prompting renewed attention to digital safety and emergency communication protocols in rural districts.

Further information will be made available as the investigation develops. Additional details can be found through KOIN’s initial coverage.
