Attendance was normal Friday morning at Dunwoody High School, two days after threats of violence were scrawled on a wall in a bathroom there.

Quinn Hudson, spokesman for the DeKalb County School District, said vandalism was reported Tuesday. He said the writings suggested something would happen at the school Friday.

By 9:30 Friday morning, nothing had. The graffiti indicated the threats could have been racially motivated, Hudson said.  The matter is under investigation by local authorities.

An investigation by the district's police found nothing credible in the threats. Still, additional officers were assigned to the school as a precaution.

A note was sent home to parents informing them of the graffiti and letting them know that classes would go on Friday.
