Earlier today the Novato Police Department investigated the report of a bomb threat at Novato High School.  A bomb-trained canine and handler from Cotati Rohnert Park thoroughly searched the campus and did not find any evidence of a bomb or bomb making materials.

Students and staff sheltered in place immediately upon learning of the threat and during the investigation and was lifted at approximately 1:50 pm this afternoon and students were released for lunch.  All staff and students are safe.

The Novato Unified School District and the Novato Police Department appreciates the community’s cooperation during this situation.

Thank you.
