[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 154484"] Right after Columbine, one of our local high schools had bomb threats every day. And every day they would evacuate and the police would come in and search and find nothing and the kids returned to class. This went on for a month and finally the school said they would no longer evacuate. The police would come in and search while the kids remained in class. By that time they were honing in on the group of kids who were calling in these threats as a prank. The day after 9/11, our SD closed because of a bomb threat. When the kids returned the following day, they came home with stories of how there really was a bomb, etc, etc. There wasn't, but rumors start fast - especially among kids. It was a kid that called in that bomb threat, too. On the first day of school a few years ago, the high school and an elementary school was closed. The news got it wrong at first and said the district was closed and then later corrected it, but it caused a lot of confusion. My son came home that day saying there had been a bomb at the high school, etc. There wasn't. The high school and elementary school had been without power. Again, just rumors. Some people enjoy feeding on the fears of others and that's how these things get started. If there was a bomb threat and the kids are in lock down, it's probably because the police are searching. They have to search no matter what. But, if they felt there was any validity to the threat they would evacuate. I would, however, question how they are handling easy child's absence. I know that here if a certain percentage of the school is absent - whether due to illness or whatever - school closes because they aren't able to educate the kids. [/QUOTE]
