"No specific school has been identified in the threat and the threat claims a shooting will occur next week," school district officials said in a statement posted to Facebook around 9:30 a.m.

All junior high schools were placed in a restrictive move to limit hallway traffic while the investigation began, according to officials.
"Local police departments and CASD police are working to provide police presence in all district buildings," district officials said.

They said they will be in "close communication" with parents to keep them updated on the investigation.
