I see the kids at North found a way to have a three day weekend by having a bomb scare and getting the schools evacuated. I understand no bomb was found.

went to Lakeview

It is my understanding from my son that the students waited in the Lakeview gym while the school was checked. ( he attends Lakeview) They went inside since the windchill was near single digits.

I do not know if they dismissed early...do you?

Pickerington North student admits making bomb threat


A 16-year-old student was placed in a juvenile-detention center after he admitted to charges related to phoning in a bomb threat yesterday to Pickerington North High School.
Fairfield County Juvenile Court Judge Steven O. Williams ordered Ricardo Pierre, a Reynoldsburg resident who attends the school, held for three weeks and evaluated. The judge will then decide the penalty.
The student admitted to delinquency counts of inducing panic, making a terroristic threat and making a false alarm, according to the judge?’s office.
Officials evacuated the high school?’s 1,700 students to Lakeview Junior High School after a caller phoned about 10:30 a.m. and said he was going to ''blow up the school,?’?’ Sheriff Dave Phalen said. The students were later allowed to return.
Pierre was observed leaving the premises and then returning after the bomb threat had been received. School officials checked his cell phone and found a call to the school was placed at the time the threat was called in, Phalen said.

And the number one reason is...

The reason this young man called in the bomb threat was that the cafeteria at North ran out of Lobster and he had to settle for steak.
