Well,apparently there isn't very good communication at the highschool. I have a little cousin that goes there.When I text his mom to let her know,she called my grandma.Well,my grandma called the highschool to get info about the whole thing.The lady she talked to at first she said she didn't hear anything about a bomb threat.I'm guessing either the lady asked someone higher up that was in the office if they heard anything or a higher up overheard the lady say something about it.So the person took the phone and asked who my grandma was.She told them she was the grandparent of one of the students and said she heard about it.That person told her that it is true that there was a bomb threat.

Now I don't know if the first person that my grandma talked to knew or if she thought she shouldn't say anything,or if she was told not to say anything.But either way,anybody that's answering calls at the highschool should be informed to give out that kind of information.

And yeah,this should be classified as an act of terrosism. It does cause panic and could even cause more to happen.

I do agree that a better procedure needs to be in place. If the kids were only out 15-20 minutes I seriously doubt that was really time enough to search for a bomb.
 
Bomb threats were unheard of when I was a kid in school. We had the occasional little punk who would pull the fire alarm and get us all outside.
 
"I did not pull that alarm"  Cool

I agree that if they cancel - it just makes it easy to have a kid prank call.  However each school should have a system in place where the kids go in emergency - I know Verity does.  That is where the kids should have been directed too.  I know Creekview was not out very long at all. 
 
I think they need to way the risk involved.  Had this been a true emergency - they would have some serious problems.
 
If they send them to Gitmo they would just come back.

The problem with bomb threat procedures is the fact that if classes are canceled for the day then anytime a student or students want a day off they could call in a threat.
 
It's probably rare that anyone gets caught doing these acts,I wonder if they couldn't be charged under the terrorist law and be sent to an unknown location. A bomb threat should fall under the same category as domestic terrorism.
 
Catch them and send them to Gitmo and they can pray to Allah.

Bobbie, I was told from my neighbor who goes to Vail that she was out of class for about 30 min. I do believe that school should have been canceled for the day. Big risk on the part of the schools.
