Three Atlanta elementary schools evacuated after threats, all cleared
Morningside, E. Rivers, and Springdale Park elementary schools were evacuated Monday after phone threats but later cleared, Atlanta Public Schools said.
Atlanta Public Schools evacuated three elementary schools Monday morning after receiving phone threats, according to FOX 5 Atlanta. The schools affected were Morningside, E. Rivers, and Springdale Park elementary schools.
The district said Atlanta Public Schools police and public safety partners responded by investigating the threats and conducting thorough searches of each school building. All students and staff remained safe during the incident, FOX 5 Atlanta reported.
Atlanta News First added that the evacuations were done out of an abundance of caution. After searches, the threats were found to be not credible, and all three schools have since resumed normal operations.
Both outlets noted that the situation is developing, and Atlanta Public Schools will provide additional information as it becomes available.
