BOUNDARY COUNTY,
Idaho - All schools in the Boundary County School District were closed Monday
morning after a bomb threat was called into 911 dispatch. The threat did not
name a specific school, so after conferring with law enforcement, the decision
to shut down all five schools in the district was made by the Superintendent.
Law enforcement,
including the Border Patrol, were called in to search all five buildings,
however nothing was found.
The Superintendent
told KHQ Monday afternoon that this is the ninth bomb threat in the district
since May 2012. Most of the threats were made by writing on bathroom stalls,
however prevention methods such as bathroom monitors, meetings with law
enforcement, students, and attorneys has seen the number of threats at schools
go down. Monday morning's threat however came via telephone.
All schools in the
district will be open on Tuesday.
