Students and employees returned safely to an Atlanta middle school after a Wednesday morning bomb threat prompted an evacuation.
Atlanta Public Schools said the threat was made to Jean Childs Young Middle School on the city’s southwest side.
The district said the building was evacuated and students were rerouted to a nearby location. At 1 p.m., district officials said the school had been cleared and that students were returning to the building.
APS police worked with the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office to search the campus.
“The safety and security of our students and staff remain our top priority,” said the APS statement.
