A 26-year-old former Seven Hills School student who allegedly made serious violent threats at the end of 2011 about an unspecified female student in an unspecified school district, will not be released for “another two or three months,” according Nevada City School District Superintendent Roxanne Gilpatric.

The message went out to parents at around 4:40 p.m. Friday afternoon. As of press time, Gilpatric could not be reached to clarify comments in the announcment.

In late 2011, Dickinson allegedly made vague remarks to his Placer County psychoanalyst, who is bound by California mental health law to communicate a serious threat of physical violence against a victim or victims. The doctor reported the threats to Gilpatric during the 2011 holiday break, who initiated an automated warning to more than 1,000 district parents right before the start of the new year's first day of school. Gilpatric would not disclose which facility had contacted her.

Gilpatric later reported on Jan. 3 that Dickinson would remain in custody for another 30 days following a hearing of an undisclosed nature at an undisclosed location.

Earlier in the week, Gilpatric blasted another message to parents informing them that Dickinson would not return to the area, but that she awaited written confirmation of his whereabouts Friday.

While awaiting written confirmation, Gilpatric placed “guards” on all three of the district's campuses. It was unclear if they would remain on campus or if they would return in “two or three months”

Gilpatric said in her automated alert that she will keep parents informed.
