(KAIR)--A non-specific bomb threat led to the Tuesday morning evacuation of the Horton schools of USD 430.

That's according to a release to parents from Superintendent Jason Cline, who says the South Brown County school district's evacuation procedure was initiated shortly after 8:00 Tuesday morning after the district was informed by the Horton Police Department of a non-specific bomb threat within the city limits.

As a precautionary measure, Cline said the district, along with local law enforcement, activated and implemented emergency protocols, as related to the district's crisis plan.

The Horton Police Department, the Kickapoo Tribal Police Department, and the Brown County Sheriff's Office conducted a search at both Horton High School and Horton Elementary School with nothing found.

Saying that "students and staff were safe throughout the evacuation," Cline writes that "they are to be commended for their quick response to this situation."

The all clear was given following the search and school operations resumed as normal, with all students and staff accounted for.
