It has come to the attention of the Rincon administration that the threat against the school referring to December 2 was posted on Instagram more than half an hour ago. We have notified the Tucson Police Department that they are at the school at this time. According to police, there was a similar threat at another Tucson high school yesterday. An investigation is underway and the matter is being looked into closely. For added safety, Tucson police and school security will be on our campus.
