The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department (SDSO) confirmed that students at the school on 1615 W.

About 1,200 students and faculty were evacuated from the campus. School buses took students to San Marcos Middle School where parents were able to pick them up.
No injuries were reported.
SDSO said canine officers with the California Highway Patrol and a nearby military base were brought in to help with bomb detection out of an abundance of caution. As of 3 p.m., a search inside of the campus had not started.
