Bomb, Gun, Unknown threats!

[Miss Z]

That is really scary stuff, I feel for all of you who have experienced that. The closest my school has ever come to that is fifth years setting the fire alarm off on stand down day. How anyone can mingle the gravity of a bomb threat (in a school of all places) with humour from the havoc it causes is beyond me!

once in 7th grade after school durring dance lessons someone called 911 from a pay phone and hung up 3 times in a row and of course they traced the call to a school and sent the police, ambulance, and fire trucks right away. He was suspended. Also, last year we had a lock down for 2 hours because someone had an air-soft pistol in their car.

Gee, when I was in high school the worst thing that could happen is if you got caught smoking in the bathroom.

It must be terrifying for students nowadays.

Trust me, we still have plenty of this, on a much larger scale! People have been caught with cigarettes, cocaine, etc. in my distrinct.

Michigan has taken bomb threats to schools seriously since 1927.

Sadly these kids got no warning.

I can recall two bomb threats when I was in junior high back in the late 80's.

We've had a huge increase in bomb threats here in the Cleveland area this past school year. It is a serious problem and those making the threats need to found and punished harshly in my opinion. This is not the way to get a day off of school!

Same here Slick. There was one big brouhaha when some girl brought
an Elvis record into study hall.
