PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – Social media threats targeting schools continue to impact class schedules as police announce a Eugene school was forced to close on Monday.

Monroe Middle School canceled classes due to a Snapchat threat “possibly directed” at the school, according to Eugene police.

No details about the threat are currently available, but officials said an investigation is ongoing.

The announcement follows several announcements in other parts of Oregon that schools had faced similar threats tied to Friday the 13th. These closures impacted school districts in Sweet Home and Greater Albany Public School districts in Oregon, as well as Fort Vancouver and Mountain View High Schools in Washington.

It is unclear if the Monday threat had any ties to the previous threats to other schools in Oregon.
