The school has more than 400 elementary and middle school students as well as 40 employees.
“Bomb or shooting threats against any of our schools in Ohio are incredibly serious and disruptive actions,” Paul Craft, superintendent of public instruction for the State Board of Education, wrote in a statement to FOX 8 News. “Any adults involved should know that the full weight of the law will be brought to bear against them. Students involved in making threats will not only face those same serious legal issues, but will also be subject to long expulsions, loss of extracurricular privileges, and more.”
