Dear ABCUSD Families,

We have heard of a threat at Cerritos High School. At this time, we are working with law enforcement to investigate the credibility of the threat, and have taken steps to ensure students and staff are safe. We have increased the number of security staff on campus, and L.A. Sheriff’s deputies on-site. In addition, the school’s administration and staff are visible and vigilant as they move throughout the campus.

I can assure you that we take this matter seriously, and continue to implement various safety measures at Cerritos High School, and all of our schools, to ensure the safety of our students and staff.

I will keep you informed of any developments in this issue.

Sincerely,

Dr. Mary Sieu
Superintendent
