Several Northeast Ohio school districts closed Tuesday

CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – Several Northeast Ohio school districts closed on Tuesday and at least two of the districts closed for safety concerns.

In Cleveland, the Cleveland Arts and Social Sciences Academy was closed for “the safety and security of staff and scholars.”

No further information was released.

Lorain High School and the administrative central office were closed Tuesday.

A release from the Lorain Police Department says they were notified by the FBI that a threat against the school had been posted on social media.

Detectives with the department obtained a confession from a 12-year-old girl just after 7 a.m. Tuesday.

The girl claimed to have written the post as a joke, police say.

The suspect was released after police confirmed she had no means to follow through with the threat, officers say, and she has received a summons to appear in juvenile court for inducing panic.

Clearview Local Schools officials in Lorain County closed Clearview High School and Durling Middle School due to a bomb threat made against the high school.

Superintendent Dr. Jerome Davis said an investigation is underway.
