Deer-Mt. Judea School District

On August 12, 2025, the Deer-Mt. Judea School District received a report of a possible threat at the Deer Campus, which was made on the playground.

The incident was immediately investigated.
The District consulted with local law enforcement authorities to assure the safety of students and staff.

Key Points:

*No students or staff were ever in immediate danger.
*At this time, there is no reason to believe a threat exists going forward.

The safety and security of our students, staff, and campuses are and will continue to be our top priority.

We appreciate our communities’ concern for the safety of our children and will continue to take all necessary precautions to protect them.

Note: Due to privacy considerations under applicable law, the District will have no further public comment.
