#IRVINEPDPIO- Irvine High School UPDATE 2:30 p.m.- An anonymous bomb threat tip was sent through the Say Something Reporting System.

There is no known credible threat to our community. Officers will remain at the high school through normal student dismissal times.

#IRVINEPDPIO- UPDATE 2:20 p.m.- The Irvine HS bomb threat was unfounded. Students are being released from the classrooms, and parents can pick them up from campus at the normal dismissal time.
