EVACUATION 11/5/14
This is Jack Thompson, Superintendent of the Perry Local School District. This message is to inform you we have discovered a bomb threat on a bathroom stall at Perry High School this morning that said “bomb 12:15.” Athough [sic] we believe this to be a hoax we will be evacuating the campus to allow the authorities to conduct a thorough search of the campus. Students are being transported home by bus. If there is no one at an elementary student’s home grades K through 5, we will transport them to St. Cyprian located at 4223 Middle Ridge Road, Ohio. Parents can pick their students up there. We appreciate the immediate response and investigative work of our Perry Police Department. Again, the Police are confident this is a hoax, however, as a precautionary measure, we are immediately evacuating and closing the campus. This message and any future correspondence will also be posted on our District website.
