The Boise Police Department and Timberline High School administration determined that a threat found in a boys bathroom was not credible.

Authorities were investigating a “vague” threat found Thursday at the Boise school, prompting an increased police presence at the school Friday morning.

A note to parents on Friday evening from the Boise School District said that there was “no credible threat to Timberline.”

The school district sent a message Thursday evening notifying families of graffiti found on a bathroom dispenser that was deemed threatening, but “was not directed toward any specific individuals.”

“When we find the person or persons who created this graffiti, they will be given appropriate legal and school consequences,” the district stated in the email Thursday.

Timberline administrators ask anyone with information that could help identify the person who wrote the message to contact them, call Boise Police at 208-377-6790 or report the information to See Tell Now at 1-888-593-2835.
