For the third day because of bomb threats.

Pathetic

Third day?!? I missed day 2.

Do they conduct class virtually today?

These kids are doing it wrong. They need to wait for a nice weather day to call in the threat. It's too cold for that today!

Yes, Wednesday was evacuated and yesterday they sent them home at 1 yesterday. Closed today.

Yes, the behavior is pathetic but APD seems to think the threats are credible.

Someone really doesn't want to have a parent-teacher conference!

They need a tip line to rat out the perp. Offer a reward. What BS. Fully prosecute the jerk(s).

This is not the Alexandria way. But this is going to have to be the biggest restorative justice circle ever!

Wednesday - students were released an hour early
Thursday - this was already an early release day in the calendar for parent/teacher conferences, and students were released at normal time
Friday - this was supposed to be an early release day but became an asynchronous day because the parent/teacher conferences on Thursday were interrupted by the bomb threat.

This is not a good situation, but PP are exaggerating the impact. Students missed 1 hour on Wednesday and had an asynchronous day today instead of in-class early release day.

However, I don't know what can stop people from calling in threats every single day. How should a school system respond to that? Should they start ignoring bomb threats? I don't know the answer. My kid is a student there, and I obviously want them to be in class. And also don't want threats to be ignored.

Thank you for clarifying. What is the punishment for bomb threats? Is that an ACPS thing or an APD thing. Would ADP even pursue it since it's not in progress and they only respond to crimes that are happening.

Sadly, I think even if they did punish the caller...who is going to care?

Do we even know if a student was involved? Sadly, anyone out there can make a bomb threat to a school.
