Amador Valley High School was on lockdown for about 45 minutes Monday morning as police responded to a weapon threat, according to the Pleasanton Unified School District.

District spokeswoman Myla Grasso said administrators received a report from students who heard a rumor about a possible weapon on campus and called for a lockdown at 10 a.m.

Police searched the school and found no credible evidence to support the rumor, which is reportedly now being considered a joke from identified students. The lockdown was called off at 10:45 a.m.

In the media alert, Grasso said the district considers safety a priority and that “campus administration takes all such reports very seriously.”

  1. Oh? I haven’t seen that Sullivan pulled his support for the project. Where has he publicly come out and said that he is no longer for Oak Grove? That’s the perception he wants you to get from supporting the signature gathering and referendum process so that you’ll continue to support him.

  2. hopefully she can improve our schools to the same level as Mission San Jose in Fremont which I read is one of the top 40 schools nationally.

  3. We need to follow PA’s lead in passing a parcel tax to keep our schools (and our city) competitive. If Pleasanton loses its appeal to home buyers, our property values would suffer. I don’t like paying any more taxes as I’m paying too much as-is. But I don’t want to see our property values drop any further either. If the little investment of 500-600 bucks a year can stablize or raise our property values, then the investment is well worth it. Yes, I do acknowledge all the talk about the S&C and blah blah blah. That’s part of the cost of keeping quality educators so we will deal with it. Let’s face it, homes in PA are so damn expensive mainly because of their outstanding schools. Keep messing with the school fundings at we will all get “eff’d” at the end when property values drop.

  4. For every person who broadcasts their needs there are many others who would be far too ashamed…. who are heavily into debt not because of frivolous spending but because they took on debt at 5% or 10% to survive a spell of unemployment, and now find themselves unable to pay them at 29% after the credit cards jacked up the rates. Or who are living hand to mouth while parents are un- or under-employed.

    The kids can’t make it to the sports tournament (too much homework, family event) when it is really the $100 they can’t afford but would never ask for a scholarship. They shop at the consignment store (just love the bargains!), stopped going to Starbucks (lattes are too fattening), vacationing at the homes of relatives (family reunion!), not going to Hawaii (summer is just too busy this year). No new car (these Hondas last forever!), no new paint (we’re waiting to remodel the whole house), selling the house and downsizing (we never liked this neighborhood and wanted a one-story anyway), moms going back to work (the kids are older now and it was time!), dads around school more (I have a lot more flexibility in my new ‘consulting’ job). Do you recognize these stories? Some of these people are hurting way worse than you know, but would never admit it.

  5. To “Wish I got a Call”

    You are being ‘scared’ by half-truths from the developer. There are plenty of infill locations witing Pleasanton which would be ideal for affordable housing…near bart and the freeway. If Measure D gets defeated, no one will put 150 units on the tops of the hills.

    Rather than suing everyone in sight, if the developer were to comply with PP and QQ, they could still develop. The difference would be fewer homes (the estimate is between 29 and 31…they wouldn’t be visible…and the developer would be responsible for the land and liability rather than ‘gifting’ it to the City.

    The developer is spending 10’s of thousands of dollars to promote this project. Follow the money – they don’t care about Pleasanton, only the bottom line. They have hired professional PR firms and professional out of town pollsters. Heck, one of the poeple handing out literature at the Farmers market is a paid PR person from San Francisoc. Be skeptical and don’t believe the propaganda.

    The developer does not live here. They won’t have to look at these hills once they have been destroyed.

    The opponents of Proposition D are all Pleasanton residents. It is a very ‘grass roots’ campaign by folks who are trying to get the message out. Comply with PP and QQ and don’t destroy ridges.

    Vote No on Measure D.

  6. Yes the drug war is an abject failure IMO former Judge Ron Hyde is symbolic of the up hill struggle we face to free our communities of the sinister activities of the drug warriors. Mr Hyde’s arguing that Marijuana is a gateway drug is like saying hard lemonade or wine coolers are a gateways to alcoholism. He like – many completely misses the point. There are always going to be people in your society ruining their own lives and the lives of other through various additions – how you mitigate the damage is the important part. After 40 years of drug war follies it should be obvious to anyone who really cares that kicking in front doors at midnight is not a solution for anyone – except maybe those who stand to benefit from an continued war on the populous = the Police ,the judiciary,the prison system, the drug testing industry and the makers of police tactical equipment. This present situation is not one I wish to hand my children We have spent a $trillion to reduce drug use 0.1% in just under 100 years which is quite frankly utterly ridiculous and completely sad.

  7. I want to add to my earlier post that my heart goes out to “reasonable”. These are the people who need our help, not the panhandlers. I hope they can getting some help through contributions to school and community programs.

  8. Honestly, Pleasanton voters are never going to pass a parcel tax, and certainly not a substantial one as voters in surrounding communities are doing, rather than see their public schools fall into ruin.

    That’s why the recent lawsuit that Pleasanton lost on “affordable housing” was a waste of time. Market forces are going to make homes in Pleasanton MUCH more affordable as the PUSD schools quickly disintegrate.

    As for comedy, well…watching a certain person here flail about with post after post in an attempt to control the discussion and bully others into silence is at least amusing.

  9. Stacey,

    You need to admit when you make a mistake. You’re not adjusting for inflation. You have to adjust for inflation. I don’t see where your inflation adjustment shows up in anything you have written. Do you know what that means? Please try to see what I’m saying.

  10. Pat,

    Maybe you should provide your full name too. Got the spine for that?

    How sad that one member who questions the actions of your board could actually destroy your club. Is Castlewood really that fragile?

    How about that last name Pat??

  11. Jane…. You must be joking! You went on a tour, heard one side of the discussion and went home. Do you you have any idea what a ridge is? I have some swamp land…

    50 of the 51 homes are ON the main ridge. At least the ridge AFTER up to 43 vertical feet are cut off. Yes, you were standing above where the roof lines will be in some cases.

    As you walk and the land drops off on both sides of you.. THAT is a ridge… at least that is the “before” version of it. I suppose you say after the bulldozers cut the ridge off, it will no longer be a ridge, but that is a lie too.

    No on D. Save the ridges for our grandkids. This land is zoned “rural agricultural” and it should be for small farms and a few horses, or as it is now, leased to a cattle rancher.
