Lexington High Threat, Early Dismissal

LEXINGTON, MA — The principal of Lexington High received a threatening email that prompted an early dismissal Thursday, according to multiple reports. The threat, of which there no evidence supporting its credibility, came in around 11 a.m. and the students were sent home about an hour later.

There were early reports of a bomb threat at the school, according to a tweet by Town Meeting member Mary Ann Stewart.

Stewart said on Twitter that Acting Superintendent Chase said there is evidence to support the credibility of the threat. The early dismissal was meant to aid in the investigation.

Patch's call to Lexington High went unanswered.
