The Hood River County School District says it is investigating allegations an employee used their social media account to threaten harm towards individuals attending a Black Lives Matter rally last weekend in Parkdale.  In a statement, Hood River County School District superintendent Rich Polkinghorn said district staff members are expected to treat fellow employees, students, and the public with respect while on- and off-duty and when using social media in order prevent substantial disruption to the school.  Polkinghorn said the district wants to assure its staff, students, and community that it is aware of the allegations and have initiated an investigation.  In the statement, the district said it takes all threats of harm seriously, refers them to law enforcement as necessary, and thoroughly investigates each allegation.  It also says the district “condemns racism, racial violence, white supremacy, hate speech, and bigotry in all forms inside and outside of its schools.”
