[BHS Etree] ADMIN: Message on Social Media Post Today

[BHS Etree]

Please do not reply to this email, contact Principal Raygoza at
juanraygoza at berkeley.net with questions.



Hello BHS Community,



I want to provide you with information about a social media post that came
to the attention of my administration team today and let you know how we
handled it.



Near the end of the school day, a student came to inform Ms. Gonzalez, Dean
of Students, that they saw a snapchat referencing a threat to a "BHS BMS."
The student was unable to give us more information. The post did not
identify Berkeley High School. Ms. Gonzalez immediately notified me and I
contacted our School Resource Officer, Geoff Mitchell, who arrived at my
office right away. We identified a second student who we wanted to speak
with. We brought them in and gathered information that led us to contact
another school's administration. Our goal was to identify the source of the
original post and determine whether it represented a real threat to
Berkeley High School.



Very soon after, law enforcement officials were able to determine that the
social media post originated in the East Coast and that there was not a
threat to Berkeley High School.



The Berkeley Police Department did assign additional patrols to the school
perimeter as a precaution while we investigated the social media post.



We know that students might be circulating the post and may talk about it
tomorrow at school and hope that this information provides clarity on the
issue.



Please let me know if you have any questions.



Thank you.

Hola Comunidad de BHS,



Por favor de no responder a este email. Si tiene preguntas, comuníquese con
el director de BHS, Juan Raygoza, en juanraygoza at berkeley.net.



Quiero brindarle información sobre una publicación en las redes sociales
que llamó la atención de mi equipo de administración hoy y hacerle saber
cómo lo manejamos.



Cerca del final del día escolar, un estudiante vino a informar a la Sra.
González, Decana de Estudiantes, que vieron un snapchat que hacía
referencia a una amenaza a un "BHS BMS". El estudiante no pudo darnos más
información. La publicación no identificó Berkeley High School. La Sra.
González me notificó inmediatamente y me comuniqué con nuestro Oficial de
Recursos Escolares, Geoff Mitchell, quien llegó a mi oficina de inmediato.
Identificamos a un segundo estudiante con el que queríamos hablar. Los
trajimos y recopilamos información que nos llevó a comunicarnos con la
administración de otra escuela. Nuestro objetivo era identificar la fuente
de la publicación original y determinar si representaba una amenaza real
para Berkeley High School.



Muy poco después, los funcionarios encargados de hacer cumplir la ley
pudieron determinar que la publicación en las redes sociales se originó en
la costa este y que no había una amenaza para Berkeley High School.



El Departamento de Policía de Berkeley asignó patrullas adicionales al
perímetro de la escuela como medida de precaución mientras investigábamos
la publicación en las redes sociales.



Sabemos que los estudiantes pueden estar haciendo circular la publicación y
pueden hablar de ello mañana en la escuela y esperamos que esta información
brinde claridad sobre el tema.



Por favor hazme saber si tienes preguntas.



Gracias.
