With the final day of school just two days away
for seniors and today a day for final tests,
Bonners Ferry High School had to be evacuated
and school canceled for the day after a bomb
threat was called in to the sheriffs office. The threat was phoned in at 10:03 a.m., and school was placed on lockdown and Highway 95 closed while police and deputies conducted a search of the premises. No explosives were found, but students were sent home early while emergency responders remained on-site to secure the building and ensure the safety of school personnel. School is slated to be back in session at its normal time on Wednesday, and the seniors may have to come back to school next week to make up for the loss of classes today. An investigation to learn the identity of the caller. |
