At least seven bomb threats have been made in the district in recent months. Four students are facing criminal prosecution in juvenile court for making them, but the threats continue. District officials are hoping lawmakers can toughen laws to help convince students of the severity of false threats. We'll do some research and see if anything is possible. Already, prosecutors are going forward in charging those believed to be involved.
Any student caught is expelled.
When the students are evacuated they don't have the time to go to their lockers for lunches. The legislative attempts are the latest methods meant to discourage students from making the threats. Like any crime it has to be taken seriously. School officials offer rewards for information when a bomb threat is made. Each time a threat is made at the schools, police must clear out and search the building with a bomb-sniffing dog.
