A bomb threat at Georgetown Middle/High School caused a short disruption in the school day as student, faculty, and staff were forced to spend part of the morning at a nearby elementary school, a school official said.
At 7:15 a.m., a threatening note was found and the almost 800 students at the school were safely evacuated to the nearby Perley Elementary School.
Authorities did not find a bomb. “The school was checked by local and state police for safety, and obviously you take those things seriously,” said Superintendent Carol Jacobs.
At 10 a.m., officials determined there was no threat to student safety and classes resumed. Georgetown police are investigating the threat.
