The Warrensville Heights Police Department is investigating a bomb threat received by Warrensville Heights schools Tuesday night.
According to Superintendent Donald Jolly, a teacher received a test around 7 p.m. that stated not to report to the school Wednesday because it would be blown up.
School leaders and the police were contacted out of an abundance of caution, and the decision was made to close the schools on Wednesday.
Police searched the school, and no explosive devices were found. The buildings have been deemed safe.
“I want to personally thank each of the representatives of the Warrensville Heights Police Department and the Cleveland Office of the FBI who have all assisted in ensuring the safety of our students, staff, and community,” School Superintendent Donald J. Jolly said. “The safety and security of our students is always our priority, and I fully support the prosecution of the perpetrator of this threat. This threat disrupted the education of our students and will not be tolerated. I will continue to work with local, state, and federal authorities to ensure that whoever did this is brought to justice.”
The person behind the threat is unknown at this time.
School is set to resume Thursday.
