No other specifics of the bomb’s placement were given in the voicemail.

Officials say after a thorough search of district grounds involving an explosive-detecting K-9 unit, nothing was found, and it was deemed safe.

Out of an abundance of caution, officials canceled all school activities.

School is set to resume on Tuesday, with increased police presence and counselors available for students.
