FAIRFIELD, Calif. — Rumors of a threat toward Fairfield High School aren't credible, according to the Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District.

The school district published a Facebook post on Sunday night to debunk the rumors. Officials said they opened an investigation into the threat and that, at this time, there is no credibility to it. 

However, the district says there will be additional officers on campus. 

"Student safety is very important to all of us. We will continue to work with law enforcement and we appreciate your understanding," the district said on Facebook. 

The district said the student in question was taken into police custody.
