Columbia County Courthouse, Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts, Newark City Hall, and Jose Ortega Elementary school have all been evacuated this morning due to threats of bombs or searching for explosive materials....

(ETA: No bombs or explosives have been found, to my knowledge, as of 11AM Central).

Not sure about the municipal buildings but the schools are probably because it's end of term testing.

Not that I am aware of, and I should have been more clear in my wording (threats of bombs or explosive materials).

My first thought was "Is it finals week"... but elementary schools don't tend to have finals.

Do kids still get paper report cards sent home?

Mine does. She's in the 4th grade. But that's probably because the school is over 50% Amish and they don't have email addresses.

Checking in from SF. I have 3 kids that go to Jose Ortega. They have all been picked up. The news is saying the threat was found or called in at 8am. School starts at 7:50. Not sure why I just heard about this an hour ago. Not real happy about this.

Edit:  We just got a call from the school. A note was found and turned in. No device was found. The school is safe.
