Bomb Threat At Woodland Middle School Classified As "Prank"

EUHARLEE, GA -- Bartow County school officials have ruled a bomb threat written on a bathroom wall at a middle school to be a prank.

That's according to the school system's Facebook page, which made its followers aware of that happened. The threat, the system said, was written on a wall at Woodland Middle School Friday morning.

School administrators evacuated the school, and "searched the entire building with the help of Bartow County Campus Police and (the) Euharlee Police Department."

Once it was determined to be safe to re-enter the building, the school day resumed.

"A fire drill had previously been scheduled," the system added. "However, school officials decided to enact the drill immediately upon learning of the perceived threat. Bartow County Campus Police officers determined the incident to be a prank, with no evidence pointing to any real threats."
