Whenever I hear about bomb threats at high schools I envision two sophomores thinking it would be fun to get out of that Spanish test they didn’t study for, hovering around a phone, attempting to sound manly while claiming they planted a bomb.

Not cool, guys.

Fortunately, smarter heads than mine prevail at FMHS, and as of just over an hour ago police were still searching the building, and most students were off campus by 2:30 p.m. Since buses were used to keep students out of the rain at the stadium (which is where the students go when evacuated from the school), the potential for a major delay around town was significant – the same buses used to hold the FMHS students are the same ones that pick up elementary school students at 2:30 p.m. to take them home. However, elementary school buses mostly ran on time despite the events at FMHS.

When the search is done and the school declared safe, law enforcement will allow students and faculty to return to collect their belongings.

Update: The police have completed their search (nothing was found) and so school will open on schedule tomorrow morning.
