(KAIR)--An investigation is launched following a hoax bomb threat at the Atchison High School Monday.
USD 409 Superintendent Doctor Susan Myers says the threat was made in the way of a writing on a wall, with the school taking all precautions once it was discovered. “I was notified by the High School Principal after school had begun that it was reported that there was a bomb threat written on a bathroom wall,” Myers tells MSC News. “We go through our normal procedures when we get any type of threat. Police are called, students in the affected areas are removed from that location and a search is begun. We notify our school patrons through our text alert system then we follow up with a text to our parents, or anybody that's actually on our text alerts, letting them know when students are returned to class and when the threat is no longer an issue.”
Myers says the search by police turned up no explosives, with the threat believed to have been a hoax.
She says the school district is working closely with Atchison Police in trying to identify who was responsible for making the threat.
