Central Point, Ore — According to Central Point School District 6 classes at Crater High School were temporarily cancelled Wednesday, November 16th due to generalized threats found at the school. Graffiti could be seen on an exterior wall of the school. Law enforcement and school employees had covered the writing with cardboard.
