“These rumors have been investigated by ECISD police [and] are not supported by facts and are untrue,” the district said. “For precautionary purposes, we will have extra officers on campus today and the rest of the week to ensure students and staff are safe.”

The school is operating as normal, the district added. 

Robert Vela High School was among the two Edinburg CISD campuses that were placed in a temporary lockdown on Monday after a report of a possible weapon at the high school.
