Police, school officials investigate Southeastern Greene bomb threats
BOBTOWN – State police are investigating a spate of bomb threats to Southeastern Greene School District schools, the latest received Tuesday morning at Bobtown Elementary School. Superintendent Dr. Philip Savini Jr. said the threat was received between 11 and 11:15 a.m., and the school was evacuated. The Bobtown Volunteer Fire Department joined state police and school police in a search of the building inside and out, but they found nothing.
“They didn’t find anything, just like before,” Savini said.
The Mapletown Junior/Senior High School received bomb threats last Thursday and Friday.
School officials implemented the district’s emergency disaster plan in all three cases, and Savini said the plan worked well.
He said parents picked up their children or the kids went home on buses. In the case when no one was home, the elementary school students stayed at the Bobtown fire hall and the high school students remained at the Greensboro fire hall.
Savini said he could say nothing about the investigation.
“State police are investigating,” he said.
