Multiple Alaska school districts, including Anchorage, received emailed bomb threats Tuesday, prompting some districts to take steps in response including evacuation.
The threat “is broad in nature and lacks specific information” but is being taken seriously, according to a statement from the Anchorage School District. The threat was reported to local, state and federal law enforcement agencies, according to the district.
Anchorage schools remained open Tuesday without a change to the schedule, the district said.
The Southeast Island School District in Thorne Bay and Annette Island School District in Metlakatla also received the bomb threat, the districts wrote on social media. Both districts evacuated students and staff from the building, they wrote.
